Nocturnal watercolor entitled "８月１４日" - or August 14 - is a painting representing a couple of students celebrating the summer vacation on Japanese beaches.

Painting based on a photograph taken in Miyajima, an island west of the Japanese coast, this scene is emblematic of the scorching summers on the archipelago where schoolchildren and young adults meet on the beaches to burn Bengal fires, make picnics at dusk and enjoy the sea air.
