Description
Kiyomizu Temple in autumn is one of Kotozuka's most visually dramatic Kyoto subjects — the temple's great veranda stage extending over a hillside of maples in full seasonal color, the reds and oranges of the foliage making the ancient cedar-colored buildings appear almost to float in a sea of autumn fire. The composition's depth — from the near temple architecture through the mid-ground autumn forest to the distant city — gives Kotozuka maximum opportunity for layered woodblock color.
