- Kofuku-ji Fuyu (Kofuku-ji Temple in Winter) -

The serene woodblock print 'Kofuku-ji' Fuyu (Kofuku-ji Temple in Winter) by Masao Ido (1945–2016) exquisitely captures the magnificent view of Kofuku-ji Temple in Nara, blanketed in snow. The snow-covered grounds create a stunning contrast with the beautiful octagonal hall, while the pagoda in the background adds a sense of depth. This is an amazing print that captures the smallest of details, showcasing the artist's skill.

Kofuku-ji Temple is registered as a World Heritage Site as part of the "Cultural Assets of Ancient Nara" and is home to many historical and cultural treasures. It houses numerous national treasures and important cultural properties, including the five-story pagoda, main hall, and northern round hall, as well as many renowned Buddhist statues, such as the famous Ashura statue.
