Stone steps and pathways lead the viewer’s eye through tall trees toward the temple buildings beyond, their roofs gently dusted with white. The contrast between the dark trunks, textured stone walls, and fresh snow creates a calm yet rhythmic composition. Masao Ido’s refined woodblock technique captures the stillness of a winter moment in Kyoto, expressing both the serenity of the temple grounds and the quiet beauty of snowfall that transforms the landscape into a place of contemplation and peace. ▼Masao Ido ============ 1945-2016 Born in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture. 1961: Became an apprentice to traditional craftsman (dye artist) Yoshida Koho 1972: Started making woodblock prints 1973: Selected for the Japan Print Association / Selected for the Nichido Print Grand Prix / Recommended as a member for the Sankikai Newcomer Award 1990: Masao Ido Exhibition (Chicago) / Specially invited artist at the Graz Art Association Exhibition (Austria) 1996: Designed the official Hanamaki City poster for the Miyazawa Kenji Centennial Celebration 1999: Founded the NPO Hanamaki Bunkamura / Became chairman of the NPO "Hanamaki Bunkamura Council" 2003: Created four original drawings for the release of the Kinki version of the hometown stamp "Kyoto Events" for Japan Post "Seeing Kyoto" Masao Ido Woodblock Exhibition (Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Important Cultural Property Keido) 2004: Collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art / Weekly Shincho "My Kyoto" (April-May, 4 issues) 2006: Collection of the Library of Congress 2012: Original artwork for Matsuo Taisha New Year's Ema 2015: Artist Masao Ido Paints the Rinpa School (Kyoto Museum) 2016: Passed away ============= ☆★☆★☆★About shipping☆★☆★☆★ *** IMPORTANT******** Due to changes in tariffs, shipping from Japan to the US has currently been suspended.
