- Gekko (Moonlit Pond) -

The spectacular woodblock print 'Gekko' (Moonlit Pond) by Masao Ido is an exceptionally large work, measuring 24 and 3/4 × 17 and 3/4 inches (63 × 45 cm). It depicts a breathtaking night view of Hirosawa Pond in Kyoto, a place renowned for enchanting visitors with its seasonal beauty. The scene captures the tranquil landscape in the quiet transition from sunset to night. Long celebrated as a famous spot for moon-viewing, Hirosawa Pond is rendered here with remarkable elegance.

The print is delicately sprinkled with gold and silver leaf, enhancing its luminous atmosphere and further evoking the magical serenity of the pond under moonlight. Truly, a beautiful celebration of nature.
