'Tasogare' (meaning Twilight or Dusk), was the name of one of the tragic lovers of Mitsuuji (Genji) in 'Nise Murasaki, Inaka Genji', by Ryutei Tanehiko, a 19th-century parody novel (1829-1842) on the famous Genji Monogatari of the Heian period. The Japanese verb ‘tasogarete iru’ means to daydream, which is alluded to in the title and print.

The print has a shaded yellow, pink and blue background and a pink cushion deftly heightened with hues of pinks, silver metallic pigment and 22c. gold leaf in a scattered cherry blossom pattern.
