Shoko Uemura captures the magical light of a Spring Evening in this exquisite nihonga painting. 🔻 The range of colors permeating through the silvery background perfectly reflects the misty moonlight. The fearless pink of the flowers shine irresistibly through the darkness. 🔻 Uemura’s 1993 painting can be seen at the Shohaku Art Museum.
