Description
A five-story pagoda with dark red-brown tiers and a tall finial rises against a deep blue-to-teal dusk sky, a thin crescent moon visible near its upper left. Clouds of pale pink and white cherry blossoms fill the foreground, partially obscuring the pagoda's lower stories, with dark branches visible beneath the blooms. Vertical Japanese text and a red seal appear along the left margin. *Spring Dusk at the Tōshō Shrine in Ueno*, woodblock print, ink and color on paper, Kawase Hasui, 1948.
