Description
A rainy night at one of the Tokio’s neighborhoods. Beauty walk along the quiet Kagurazaka street under a gentle rain. Her surroundings and her dress are timeless, and there is no hint of the postwar Tokyo to come.
The painting is an ode to the beauty of the traditional Japanese architecture and the quaint charm of the neighborhood.
