Evening in a Hot Spring from 1939, depicts a peaceful Japanese village illuminated by glowing, warm lights reflecting perfectly on a river surface. The image captures the tranquil ambiance of a night-time resort town, nestled at the foot of dark, misty mountains. The work is highly regarded for its delicate gradations of color and masterfully rendered evening shadows, a signature of Yoshida's work.
