(2) PS A mother bunny carries her sleepy child through a quiet downtown's dark streets as the child remarks on the ordinary occurrences seen through the windows of the houses they pass. At home, the bunny drifts off to sleep, safe in the knowledge that "every night, we all go home to bed." Miyakoshi's dark, atmospheric images (in heavy pencil and charcoal on textured paper), with orderly composition and serene illumination, evoke the stillness of the night.
