Hibiya Park

A cluster of tall, slender palm trees with dark brown trunks and fan-shaped green fronds dominates a park lawn, framed by a low wooden fence and a hedge of round-clipped shrubs in the foreground. Behind the palms, rounded masses of foliage rendered in stippled yellow-green and dark green fill the background under a pale blue sky, with a low red-brown structure visible at the right edge. The palette is limited to muted greens, ochre yellow, brown, and blue-gray, giving the scene a flat, quiet daytime mood; a red artist's seal appears in the lower right corner.
