Tennô-ji Temple in Osaka (Ôsaka Tennô-ji), from the series Souvenirs of Travel III (Tabi miyage dai sanshû)

From the Tabi miyage dai sanshū (Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series), this ōban-format shin-hanga print depicts Tennō-ji, the ancient Buddhist temple founded by Prince Shōtoku in 593 CE and located in the Tennōji ward of Osaka. The Tabi miyage series documented scenic and historic sites across Japan as Hasui traveled and sketched from direct observation, bringing the approach of the meisho-e tradition into the collaborative shin-hanga framework. The composition probably employs the low, close-in vantage points and strong architectural framing characteristic of Hasui's temple scenes, with stone lanterns or a wooden gate anchoring the foreground and the sky rendered in the smooth bokashi gradations Watanabe's printing team executed with consistent technical precision. Multiple printings of Tabi miyage sheets were produced throughout the series' life to meet sustained collector demand.
