Description
The Ote Gate — the main gate of Edo Castle on the eastern side of the palace complex — appears here at springtime evening in this 1952 print, the stone walls and the gate's wooden structure in the warm amber light of late spring dusk. Cherry blossoms may be visible in the castle grounds beyond the gate, the spring evening bringing together two of the season's most characteristic elements. Bokashi gradations carry the sky from a warm spring blue to the first tones of evening.
