Comments - Wonderful shin-hanga scene of beauties enjoying a stroll to view cherry blossoms at night, a custom known as "yozakura." They walk along beneath a full moon, one carrying a glowing orange lantern. Lights dot the fence enclosing flowering cherry trees at right. Beautiful bokashi shading and wood grain impression in the background. A lovely design by this rarely seen artist.
