Item Description: This vibrant woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Masao Ido (井堂雅夫) is titled "Kyoto Hyakkei – Rakutō Jikkei – Eikandō" (京都百景・洛東十景・永観堂), part of the celebrated "One Hundred Views of Kyoto" series. The artwork captures the breathtaking autumn scenery of Eikandō, a historic temple in Kyoto famous for its brilliant maple foliage and scenic pagoda views. The foreground shows the ornately tiled temple roof, leading the eye to the iconic pagoda nestled among rolling hills painted in varying hues of green, brown, and fiery red. The brilliant colors of the momiji (Japanese maple leaves) frame the landscape beautifully, showcasing Ido’s mastery in depicting seasonal transitions with precision and elegance. A limited edition print marked with the publisher's and artist's seals, this piece exemplifies the harmony and timeless beauty of Kyoto's cultural heritage. Author's Comment: Eikando: Descending the slope south from the end of the Philosopher's Path, Eikando Temple lies on the left. During the autumn foliage season, the temple grounds are filled to capacity with visitors from across the nation. The beauty of the maple leaves glistening in the sunlight is nothing short of breathtaking. I depict the tiled roof of the main entrance at the forefront, with the pagoda visible through the gap between the crimson trees. The trees change color as if in harmony with the pagoda, weaving the autumn landscape. I began to feel a sense of happiness.
