Renowned Hasui scholar, Narazaki, stated, "This work is somewhat reminiscent of Shinsui's "Evening View at Akashi". But this work possesses a particular elegance. Hasui's composition repeats Shinsui's design of a stone lantern, in this case two, lit by the evening light. The lantern in the foreground is magnified, producing a unique and striking feel. We can see hasui's effort in the contracted western sky, the colored clouds which have been illustrated using three layers of bokashi.".
