How this deck reads it

The figure is drawn from behind because the subject of this scene is not the face but the direction of the gaze. The posture of shielding the eyes with a hand to look into the distance and the two wands planted on the cliff divide the space so that what has already been established lies behind and what has not yet come lies ahead. The pale-sailed ships crossing the water beneath the full moon are rendered in the blue-white contrast of dancheong, suggesting that waiting is not stillness but a current already in motion. The waves flow along the grain of the mother-of-pearl pieces, drawing the gaze horizontally.

Artwork

A person in a red robe stands on a cliff looking out at the sea, with three wands planted beside them. Ships float on the horizon and the moon hangs in the sky.
