- Yasaka no Tou (The Pagoda at Yasaka, Kyoto) -

The simple and minimalist woodblock print “Yasaka no Tou” (The Pagoda at Yasaka, Kyoto) is by Taizō Minagawa (1917–2005). Characteristic of Minagawa’s background as a dyeing artist, the work features rich colors and a bold design, beautifully capturing the iconic pagoda in Kyoto through a restrained and minimal composition. Its simple yet sophisticated beauty is expressed in a highly distinctive and elegant manner.

Minagawa’s work is truly distinctive, with dynamic compositions and a vivid decorative sensibility that is especially captivating. The bottom margin includes the Japanese title “Yasaka no Tou,” along with the artist’s name “Minagawa Taizō saku,” the publisher Unsōdō, the carver Monju, and the printer Takenaka. The publisher’s watermark appears in the lower left margin.
