Pagoda of Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
by Ito Nisaburo
Description
The Pagoda of Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto — the three-story pagoda that stands near the main hall of Kiyomizu-dera, one of Kyoto's most visited sacred sites, perched on the steep hillside of Higashiyama with views across the city to the Kitayama mountains. The pagoda's distinctive shape, with its three tiers of curved eaves and its position within the temple complex, makes it a compositionally powerful subject that Nisaburo renders with the refined color printing of the shin-hanga tradition.
