上野公园，全名上野恩赐公园，位于东京都台东区上野，是全日本第一座城市公园。在其近54万平方米的巨大体量内，囊括有东京国立博物馆、国立科学博物馆、东京都美术馆、上野动物园等一众场馆，以及上野东照宫、不忍弁天堂等诸多名胜古迹。日本最顶尖的艺术类综合学府——东京艺术大学也位于其中。但除了以上的各种人文景观，上野公园内还生长有约1200棵樱树。每逢樱花季，樱云流转，绯雪轻柔，足让人流连忘返。因此在以上野公园为题材的大量画作中，樱花都是无可争议的主角。本作中的樱水汽充沛，可谓是实打实的“樱云”：最上方带着枝条舒展四散的好似丝缕翎毛状的卷云；中景的大片展裂浮动的又仿佛积雨云；而在半空间翻涌点缀的瓣瓣胭脂红，用高积云来形容就再合适不过了。云销雨霁处，旧宽永寺五重塔的半截身形清晰又模糊；云卷云舒下，数位和装女子交谈漫步于道中。道旁的滩滩积水，是一场过境春雨留下的痕迹，如调色盘般将世间的杂沓色彩混合。不错的，云生成雨，雨落云复，一切都在湿漉漉的气息中慢慢流动。

Hiroshi Yoshida (1876–1950)
Hiroshi Yoshida is perhaps the second best known Shin Hanga artist, after Hasui. Trained as a painter from a young age, he showed his work at the Detroit Museum of Art in 1899, making him among the first Japanese artists to gain a reputation in the United States. Eventually, like so many of his contemporaries, he worked for Watanabe Shozaburo producing landscape prints. While many were set in Japan, he traveled extensively and produced several wonderful designs of American subjects, such as New York skyscrapers, the Pittsburgh waterfront and national parks, and European subjects, such as Lake Como in Italy. His prints always had a distinctly painterly feel, as if they’d fallen off a watercolor brush.
