- Kokedera (The Moss Temple in Kyoto) -

The captivating woodblock print “Kokedera” (The Moss Temple in Kyoto) by Masao Ido beautifully captures a tranquil moss garden basking in dappled sunlight. Kokedera, whose official name is Saiho-ji, is one of Kyoto’s most celebrated temples and is renowned for its extraordinary moss garden. The garden is covered with more than one hundred varieties of moss, creating a lush green carpet much like the scene depicted in this print. The serene green reflections shimmering upon the pond beneath the sunlight further enhance the peaceful atmosphere, adding a sense of depth and quiet beauty to the composition. The print evokes a welcome sense of cool respite on a warm day, while its tranquil atmosphere and refined palette bring a soothing, refreshing presence to any setting.
