- Osaka-jo no Haru (Osaka-jo Castle in Spring) -

** ON SALE **

The amazing woodblock print Osaka-jo no Haru (Osaka Castle in Spring) by Masao Ido beautifully captures the springtime view of Osaka Castle. This majestic structure, towering over the metropolis, has been cherished throughout the ages and remains a beloved landmark of Osaka. During cherry blossom season, the castle becomes even more enchanting, attracting visitors from all over the world.

The combination of the castle—an exquisite example of Japanese architecture—with modern skyscrapers in the background creates a stunning contrast that evokes a sense of the passage of time. The delicate cherry blossoms, framing the castle, are exquisitely depicted, with even the falling petals captured in all their beauty.
