looking better in dim light or from afar
A yojijukugo often used about a woman appearing more attractive when seen in the dark or at a distance, where flaws are less visible. Can also refer to things in general looking better under those conditions.
In the dim light and from a distance, she looked very beautiful.
Since things look better in the dark or from afar, that painting is better viewed from a distance.
A yojijukugo combining 夜目 (night eyes) and 遠目 (distant eyes), literally meaning 'night eyes, distant eyes'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the phrase is conventionally associated with the idea that things look better when seen in the dark or from a distance.
