Lakeside is one of Kuroda's most representative works and is still popular among many people to this day. The reason it is easily recognized is probably that the original painting, which is on permanent view at the Kuroda Memorial Hall, has been reproduced in all kinds of media. Besides books of paintings, it has appeared, for example, in children's textbooks and in the form of a stamp. It has become so familiar that it is accepted as the image of the Meiji era or the image of a modern Japanese "beauty".
