Description
An untitled work from Asada Benji's Osaka-based landscape practice — likely one of the Kansai region's scenic subjects that defined his career. His untitled works typically belong to series or groups where individual identification was not documented, and this print almost certainly depicts one of his signature subjects: a Kyoto temple or garden, a mountain scene from the Kansai uplands, a coastal view from the Inland Sea, or a bird-and-flower subject from his kacho-e practice.
