"Moon with Hagi (Bush Clover) on a Bank" is one of a pair of fusuma (sliding door) paintings by Suzuki Kiitsu (1796–1858), a prominent Edo period Japanese painter known for his Rinpa-style works. This particular piece is celebrated for its exquisite depiction of a natural scene combining both the moon and the delicate hagi (Japanese bush clover), which is a recurrent theme in Japanese art and poetry, symbolizing the beauty and ephemerality of life.

The painting is executed with pigments on paper and is a fine example of Kiitsu's mature style, where he combines the decorative Rinpa tradition with a more realistic representation of nature. The Rinpa school, known for its bold, abstracted use of color and gold leaf, was founded in the 17th century and Kiitsu is considered one of its last great masters. His work on the fusuma doors is characterized by a striking use of space and asymmetry, with the moon often depicted in a manner that conveys a sense of depth and distance.

The left side of the pair, "Moon with Hagi," showcases Kiitsu's skillful use of tarashikomi, a technique where a second layer of paint is applied before the first layer dries, resulting in a dripping effect that adds a sense of moisture and depth to the depicted scene. The hagi, with its delicate pink flowers, is rendered with fine lines and gentle color gradations, contrasting with the bold, round moon that dominates the composition.

Suzuki Kiitsu's "Moon with Hagi" is not only a testament to the artist's technical prowess but also reflects the aesthetic and philosophical ideals of his time. The work is imbued with a sense of mono no aware, a Japanese term that expresses the poignant beauty of the transient nature of things. As a significant piece of Japanese cultural heritage, the painting is highly valued for both its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of Japanese aesthetics.

The fusuma painting is part of a larger collection of works by Suzuki Kiitsu that can be found in various museums and private collections around the world. Its partner piece typically features a complementary scene, often with autumnal grasses, that together with "Moon with Hagi" would have adorned the interior of a traditional Japanese room, bringing the beauty of nature indoors and creating a contemplative space for the viewer.
