Description
Ueno Park at evening was one of Edo's — and later Tokyo's — great public pleasures, its broad promenade lined with cherry trees, vendors, and strollers. Koitsu renders the park at dusk, the sky deepening above lantern-lit pathways as figures drift through the evening air. The park contains the ruins of Kan'eiji temple, which made the approach to the Kiyomizudo hall particularly atmospheric — a blending of sacred and recreational space that defined the pleasure districts of old Shitamachi.
