Description
A second print simply titled "Kiyomizu Temple" represents another of Kotozuka's engagements with this most characteristic of his subjects — the great wooden temple on Higashiyama hill that has defined eastern Kyoto's skyline for over twelve centuries. Each of his several Kiyomizu prints finds a different angle, season, or atmospheric condition in which to explore the site, the accumulated prints forming a cumulative portrait of the temple in all its seasonal and meteorological variety.
