"Abe no Nakamaro Gazing at the Moon from a Terrace" is a renowned ukiyo-e woodblock print by the eminent Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this artwork is part of Hokusai's series "A Tour of the Waterfalls of the Provinces," which depicts various waterfalls across Japan, although this particular print is more focused on the figure and the moon than on the waterfall itself. The print portrays the historical figure Abe no Nakamaro (c. 698–770), a scholar and poet who spent much of his life in Tang China and is remembered for his poetry expressing longing for his homeland.

In the composition, Hokusai captures a contemplative moment as Abe no Nakamaro stands on a terrace, gazing at the moon. The image is imbued with a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, reflecting Nakamaro's feelings of homesickness. Hokusai's masterful use of line and contrast, as well as his attention to detail, are evident in the print, which showcases the artist's ability to convey complex emotions through simple yet powerful visual elements.

The print is an example of Hokusai's mature period, where he explored various themes beyond the landscapes for which he is best known, such as "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." "Abe no Nakamaro Gazing at the Moon from a Terrace" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical resonance, offering insight into the poetic imagination of Japan and the enduring human experience of longing for one's homeland. As with many of Hokusai's works, this print has been influential in the development of ukiyo-e and has been admired for its evocative portrayal of a poignant moment in Japanese literary history.
