"Queen of the Night" — the phrase evokes either the white night-blooming cactus flower (Selenicereus grandiflorus) famous for its single night of blooming, or the legendary aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute. Whether this print depicts the remarkable flower or uses the musical reference as a metaphor for a nocturnal landscape, it belongs to Urushibara's works that emphasize atmosphere and mystery over topographical description. The darkness and drama implicit in the title suggest a more romantic, less documentary approach.
