Description

A nice street on a rainy night, with the lights coming from buildings and the restaurant on the left providing a warm contrast. The atmosphere is similar to the print Araki Yokocho at Yotsuya by Tsuchiya Koitsu too. The same street was depicted by Noel Nouet, providing a nice way to compare the latters unique pencil style with the more mainstream style of Tsuchiya Koitsu.
