- Yasaka Jinja (Yasaka Shrine, Kyoto) -

The beautiful etching print “Yasaka Jinja” (Yasaka Shrine, Kyoto) is by Yoshiaki Sakuma (b.1947). This evocative print depicts Yasaka Shrine from a frontal perspective, seemingly capturing the shrine on a rainy evening. The shimmering reflections of the light upon the wet surfaces and sky are rendered with remarkable skill, giving the composition a quiet, dreamlike atmosphere filled with mystery and elegance.

Yoshiaki Sakuma was born in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, in 1947. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Kyoto City University of Arts in 1972. Sakuma exhibited at the Wakayama Print Biennale in 1989 and the Taiwan International Print Biennial in 1990. Throughout his career, he has held numerous exhibitions and received various awards for his work. His prints are included in the collections of institutions such as the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto and the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art.
