A beautiful image of Yasaka Pagoda in Kyoto on a rainy day; the spire rises high above the tiled rooftops of the surrounding buildings against a violet sky with golden yellow clouds. Slender lines of rain fall over the scene, changing from a dark violet in the sky to a white in order to contrast with the structures below.
Published by Unsodo with Unsodo “Gei” watermark, title, and publisher seal on the left margin. Clifton Karhu supervised and approved four different prints published by Unsodo in the late 20th Century of which this is one of the four.
Please note that the cut out (kento) on the lower left margin is for color alignment and is not a defect.
