- Kiyomizu Sekkei (Snow Scene at Kiyomizu, Kyoto) -

The amazing woodblock print “Kiyomizu Sekkei” (Snow Scene at Kiyomizu, Kyoto) by Masao Ido (1945–2016) beautifully captures the serene winter beauty of Kiyomizu in Kyoto. The snow-covered roof and surrounding greenery are rendered with remarkable elegance, creating a truly mesmerizing scene. This breathtaking snowy landscape exudes a profound sense of tranquility and quiet mysticism.

The striking contrast between the vermilion pillars of the three-story pagoda and the snow resting upon its roof is especially magnificent. Through his masterful use of color and composition, Ido evokes a winter vision of Kiyomizu that possesses a poetic charm entirely distinct from that of the other seasons.
