Pagoda of Ninnaji Temple in Snow — 御室雪塔 おむろせっとう

This print depicts the five-story pagoda of Ninnaji, the imperial temple in Omuro, Kyoto, standing against a winter sky under a mantle of accumulated snow. Ninnaji's pagoda, a seventeenth-century Edo-period structure, is one of the most photographed landmarks in western Kyoto, and Ito renders it with the architectural precision characteristic of his temple subjects. Snow-laden pine branches likely frame the composition, softening the pagoda's geometric silhouette. Ito's treatment of snow typically employs gradated bokashi — the slow bleed of blue-grey pigment into unpigmented washi — to convey the muted luminosity of an overcast winter day. The title's classical reading, Omuro Settō, underscores the print's poetic register, situating the image within the meisho-e tradition of celebrated scenic places while grounding it in Ito's characteristic Kyoto quietude.
