Description
Autumn Rain Shower at Yakushiji (2019), a woodblock print by Ray Morimura on washi paper. Diagonal streaks of grey rain fall across a dark sky above a temple complex — a multi-tiered pagoda flanked by low-roofed buildings, rendered in black, white, and red-brown, set against dense dark-green trees. In the foreground, a golden field of textured grasses sweeps forward, bordered at bottom right by dark foliage dotted with small pale purple flowers; the artist's signature and red seal appear in the lower right margin.
