The divided, ascending 
paths at the foot of the mountain

We all see the very same
Moon at the summit

This is Yoshitoshi's most popular series: the selection demonstrates why. More can be seen at the Stuart Jackson Gallery.

Jan,
I had not seen this particular quote...but I love it. Thank you for sharing.
I just re-read the poem about seeing the same moon from different paths -- it's even more wonderful tonight than last night.
Interesting, Jan! I love that your posts are unique.
Beautiful, Jan. Thank you.
