The serene woodblock print 'Yakushi-ji' (Yakushi-ji Temple in Winter, Nara) by Masao Ido beautifully captures the enchanting atmosphere of this celebrated temple, softly illuminated by the full moon and blanketed in snow. The wide corridor stretches gracefully beneath the twin pagodas, which rise with quiet dignity, evoking both majesty and stillness. This romantic winter scene conveys a sense of wonder and tranquility, gently inviting the viewer into its peaceful embrace.

Yakushi-ji Temple, located in the heart of Nara, is the head temple of the Hosso sect of Buddhism. Founded in 680 by Emperor Tenmu as a prayer for the recovery of his consort, Empress Uno Sarara (later Empress Jito), it has long stood as a symbol of devotion and resilience. In 1998, Yakushi-ji was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the “Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara.” Today, it continues to house many revered national treasures, carrying forward its profound cultural and spiritual legacy.
