Yumiharizuki (Bow-shaped crescent moon)

The upper section of a deep gorge is connected precariously by a rope bridge. Far below a waterfall descends through rocks, illuminated by the light of a crescent moon. The scene is accompanied by a Chinese poem: "At dawn, the moon flies for a while/ behind a thousand trees/ Autumn rivers keep it distant/ from the numerous peaks in the West".
