Description: In the olden days, people used to fancy that the Swans flew to the moon and spent their winters up there. I thought that was such beautiful imagery, and examined it more. I thought, "What would these people think the surface of the moon is like?" They must think that the very ground of the moon glows like the moon itself.

After this drawing I fancied that the moon was like this giant glowing bubble. Swans could land and swim around on its surface, but also dip their head inside and dive and fly around within, seeing other swans' feet sticking in all the sides.
