“Cherry Blossom in the Night” by Katsushika Oi (1800-1866), a Japanese woman ukiyo-e painter, daughter of the famous Katsushika Hokusai. There are only a few female artists known in Japan, who mastered in the woodblock painting of that time. Light and shadow is extremely skillfully painted in this picture. Its beauty is outstanding.
