Nichizen Shrine receives a composed, formal treatment in this Sacred Places series entry, with Tokuriki's attention to architectural detail and surrounding garden elements. The shrine's relative obscurity compared to famous Kyoto temples means this print appears less frequently on the market. Unsodo editions generally sell for $50-$200, and the quieter subject matter appeals to collectors building a comprehensive Sacred Places set.
Nichizen Shrine appears in this print from Tokuriki's "Famous, Sacred and Historical Places" series — likely depicting one of the regional Shinto shrines that appear less frequently in standard landscape print subjects but that Tokuriki included in his comprehensive survey of Japan's sacred geography. The series' scope — attempting to document the full range of Japan's famous, sacred, and historical sites — required Tokuriki to move beyond the canonical Kyoto and Nara subjects that dominated [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) print production, and these less-familiar sites give the series its archival value.
