Please check the photos for the condition of the artwork. ---------- A serene spring scene at Omuro Ninna-ji Temple in Kyoto unfolds beneath a pale blue sky. Softly blooming cherry trees fill the foreground, their petals gently scattered across the green grounds. The iconic five-story pagoda rises quietly in the distance, creating a calm vertical rhythm amid the blossoms. Red benches placed beneath the trees add a subtle contrast, inviting the viewer into a moment of rest and contemplation. Rendered in delicate woodblock layers, this work captures the gentle harmony of architecture and nature, expressing the quiet beauty of spring as experienced in a historic Japanese temple garden. ----------- ▼Konishi Seiichiro =============== Born in Kyoto Prefecture in 1920 1940: Studied under Professor Igaki Kahei at the Kansai French-Japanese Institute.
