Weeping willows in Japanese art, as in ukiyo-e prints, represent grace, femininity, and spring, but can also signify ghosts and evil spirits. It is thought that a ghost may emerge where a willow grows, and the tree symbolizes humility due to its bending branches. Printed separately is the Japanese text, which means “Son of a famous star,” along with the seal and moon represented by the circle, represent knowledge, values, fertility, time and acts as the artist's pseudonym.
Ukiyo-e means "pictures of the floating world" and reflects the idea of "ukiyo," a concept that started in Buddhist philosophy. Originally, "ukiyo" referred to life's sufferings, but during the Edo period, it came to symbolize the fleeting nature of worldly pleasures and desires.
