A peasant couple relaxes in the moonlight by Yoshitoshi 1890

"Pleasure is this, to lie cool under the moonflower bower the man in his undershirt, the woman in her slip."

by Yoshitoshi 1890

A peasant couple relaxes in the moonlight on a summer's evening. The man sings, a kettle of sake beside him. The scene is based on a famous painting, now in the Tokyo National Museum, by the seventeenth century artist, Kusumi Morikage.
