Yasukuni Dori, Tokyo II
1986

A vibrant, densely packed cityscape at night, depicted in a painting with a multitude of neon signs and billboards in various scripts, including Japanese. The scene is bustling with activity, featuring numerous buildings with illuminated windows and a busy street filled with rows of red tail lights from cars, suggesting heavy traffic. The artwork is rich in detail and color, conveying the energy of a lively urban environment after dark.
