More about the moon stares at me/ ancient face pocked with craters/ he loves my secrets

A traditional Japanese woodblock print showing a whimsical, anthropomorphic moon with a human face dominating the center of the image. The moon's face is rendered with distinct features including dark, almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, and lips, along with wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes suggesting age or wisdom. The surface of the moon displays visible craters and textures, contributing to its realistic yet stylized appearance. The background is a dark, starry night sky, with numerous small white dots representing stars scattered throughout. In the bottom portion of the image, below the moon, there is a dark, textured ground with sparse, delicate white and light-colored plant blossoms or branches. A rectangular Japanese text block is visible in the upper left corner, and a smaller, similar text block is in the lower left, near the ground. The overall color palette is muted, consisting primarily of grays, browns, and dark blues for the night sky, with the white of the stars and blossoms providing contrast.
