Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “清水の雪” (Snow at Kiyomizu-dera) frames a gentle snowfall drifting through the covered corridors of Kiyomizu-dera, the Temple of Pure Water. The weathered wood walls and stone floor guide the eye to the temple’s tiled eaves and courtyard beyond, where flakes settle on railings and roofs - a beautiful glimpse of Kyoto’s winter hush. ❄️⛩️.
