Description
The waxing crescent has been compared to a boat and has been written about in waka poems since the Manyo period (Nara period (710-794 CE).
When the stars and the moon shine at the same time in the night sky, the stars become even more brilliant when the moon is hidden behind the clouds.
Even though you can’t see it because it’s hidden, it still exists.
I thought of this while working on the motif of the mountain I wanted to create.
The mechanism is very simple.

Reference: Manyoshu No. 1068, "On the sea of heaven the waves of clouds arise, And the moon's ship is seen sailing. To hide in a forest of stars."
