As always beautiful style, and it's always good to see new works from Kuroiwa, however.... This one does not seem to be my cup of tea...
I mean this whole 'spring spirit' motif and general middle age crisis (pretty obviously) aspect are somewhat weird in this sort of works, at least to me. Plus it all seems a bit... flat?
As I said, it's good to see a new work from Kuroiwa, just not this specific one.
