This print portrays Daimotsu, an industrial city in Japan, known for its factories and the Amagasaki Castle. Kawase demonstrates how beauty can be found in unlikely places during the quiet hours of the night. He leads our gaze between the fire and moon by using the most saturated colors for these two objects. He connects them together with the smoke and city in the background. The subtle shades of ink in the highlights of the water, sky, and building add to the three-dimensional quality of the artwork.Label Type
