- Miyajima – 4, Joyatō (Miyajima-4, Stone Lantern) -

The serene etching "Miyajima – 4, Joyatō" (Miyajima-4, Stone Lantern) is by Hiroto Norikane. The print captures the breathtaking view of the iconic torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine rising gracefully from the water, surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature. In the foreground stands a traditional Japanese stone lantern (tōrō), its inscription reading "Jōyatō" (常夜燈), meaning "ever-burning lantern" or "night lantern." Traditionally placed at shrines and temples, these lanterns symbolize guidance and protection, adding a sense of timeless tranquility to the composition. The striking contrast between the vivid vermilion torii and the subdued monochrome landscape creates a refined and contemplative atmosphere.
