Original Takeji Asano (1900 - 1999) Japanese Woodblock Print Moonlight in Mii Temple, 1952
Moonlight in Mii Temple, 1952 - Beautiful view of Mii Temple beneath a full moon, the structure in gray shadow framing the scene at left. At lower right, a single figure looks out over the water as clouds edges with yellow light drift across the night sky. Lovely detail in the architecture and the handling of the shadows falling across the pavement. A rare first edition printing with the date of 1952 printed in lower left margin. The first time we've offered this atmospheric design.
