Dated 1950, Kiyomizu-Dera Temple is one of Kotozuka's most frequently revisited subjects — the temple complex on the eastern hills above Kyoto offering multiple compositional angles, seasonal transformations, and the iconic wooden stage that extends over the hillside. This 1950 print represents his mature handling of the subject, with the woodblock technique's capacity for atmospheric depth used to suggest the interplay between the temple's architecture and the natural landscape surrounding it.
