"Full Moon at Seba" is a renowned ukiyo-e woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It forms part of the "Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido" series, which Hiroshige created in collaboration with fellow artist Keisai Eisen. This series, produced in the mid-19th century, illustrates the 69 post stations (stopping points) along the Kisokaido road, which connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital.

The print "Full Moon at Seba" depicts the post station of Seba, the 29th station along the Kisokaido. It is celebrated for its atmospheric portrayal of a tranquil evening scene under the glow of a full moon. The composition captures travelers and local inhabitants moving along the route, with the moon's reflection shimmering on a body of water, creating a sense of both movement and stillness. The use of light and shadow, a characteristic of Hiroshige's work, enhances the depth and serenity of the scene.

Hiroshige's artistic mastery in landscape design is evident in this print, where he employs techniques such as bokashi (color gradation) to convey the luminosity of the moonlight and the misty atmosphere typical of a late evening. The "Full Moon at Seba" is not only a significant work within the "Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido" series but also stands as an exemplary piece within Hiroshige's broader oeuvre, reflecting his ability to evoke mood and emotion through landscape art.

The "Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido" series, including "Full Moon at Seba," is highly regarded for its historical and artistic value, offering insight into the culture and travel of the Edo period. Hiroshige's prints have had a profound influence on the development of ukiyo-e and have been celebrated for their impact on Western artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, contributing to the Japonisme movement in Europe.
