Description
A five-story pagoda rises against a deep blue evening sky with a thin crescent moon, its dark tiered roofs silhouetted above clusters of pale pink and white cherry blossoms. No figures appear in the composition, which is dominated by the contrast between the pagoda's warm brown-orange upper stories and the cool indigo dusk. "Evening Glow in Spring, Toshogu Shrine, Ueno," a woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, date unknown.
