- Tenderness: Hakage - In the Shade of Leaves, 1992 -

Tenderness: Hakage — In the Shade of Leaves is a very large woodblock print by Kiyoshi Saito (1907–1997), printed in 1992. A moss-covered stone Buddhist figure appears behind the leaves, nestled in their sheltering forms. Silver mica on the leaves catches the light and shimmers against the white mica background, lending the scene a gentle, quietly luminous warmth.

The print is part of Saito’s Tenderness (Jiai) series, which reflects compassion and quiet reflection through Buddhist figures and other motifs.
