Kotozuka Eiichi (KOTOZUKA EIICHI)
Description
A five-storied wooden pagoda with grey tiled roofs and vermillion beams rises above a cluster of tiled-roof houses, one pale yellow with dark timber trim, set among green trees dotted with small orange-red blossoms or leaves. In the foreground a gnarled pine with dark green needle clusters extends across the lower right, while a flock of small birds crosses the pale blue-to-cream gradient sky at upper right; Japanese characters and two seals appear in the upper left corner. Kotozuka Eiichi, 1935, woodblock print.
