- Setsugekka Chikurin (Bamboo Forest from the Snow, Moon, and Flowers Series) -

The tranquil large-format woodblock print "Setsugekka Chikurin" (Bamboo Forest from the Snow, Moon, and Flowers Series) by Masao Ido (1945–2016) beautifully captures the serene beauty of a bamboo grove beneath the gentle glow of the moon. Graceful bamboo stalks rise vertically through the composition, creating a sense of elegance and rhythm, while the soft interplay of light and shadow evokes a quiet, contemplative atmosphere. With his distinctive woodblock style and lyrical sensitivity, Ido transforms this peaceful landscape into a timeless celebration of nature.

Natural paper wrinkles are present along the right edge of the margin, a characteristic of the handmade papermaking process. The image itself remains clean and vibrant. The verso shows traces of previously removed tape along the edges. Please refer to the photographs for details. The print is not attached to the mat; however, the original mat will be included, and the marginal imperfections will be concealed when the print is matted. Accordingly, the price has been adjusted to reflect these minor condition issues.
