The camera sits low off the ridge, tilted up from the eaves, so the ninja is seen from below against the night sky: a single figure poised on the crest of a tiled roof, weight carried on the right leg with the left foot set forward a half-step down the slope, the roof's ridge line running diagonally behind the ankles. The shinobi shozoku is matte black cloth that swallows the light except where the moon catches its folds; the mask covers the lower half of the face, leaving one eye visible above the cloth, and the head is tilted down so that eye looks straight into the lens, narrowed and unreadable. A wide scarf-tail of dark cloth streams out sideways from the shoulders, pulled horizontal by wind coming from behind and to the left; the same wind presses the trousers flat against the forward calf above the calf-high boot. The right hand rests on the strap of the sheathed katana slung diagonally across the back, the scabbard's lower end swinging out past the left hip where it catches a thin moonlit edge; the left hand hangs loose with fingers half-curled. Below and behind the ridge, the roof tiles step down in courses, their convex curves each holding a narrow highlight on the up-facing side and dropping into black on the shadow side. Beyond, a low skyline of town roofs and one chimney sits far below in haze, so small it reads as texture, and above everything a full moon stands high and left, its light raking the figure from behind so that the front of the body stays in near-total darkness and only a cold rim draws the shoulders, the mask's edge, the sword's spine, the forward boot. The moon is the only source; where its light does not reach, the darkness is unbroken. Palette: black cloth, indigo night sky, pale silver moon and rim, a single warm speck of distant window light low in the town. Sharp, still, watching.
