十月 (知恩院山門月夜)
十月 (知恩院山門月夜)
For October, Tokuriki captures a full moon illuminating the massive gate of Chion-in, headquarters of the Jodo sect of Buddhism. The interplay of moonlight and shadow across the enormous sanmon gate creates one of the series' most poetic compositions. Unsodo editions generally trade between $75-$300, and the nocturnal atmosphere makes this a favorite among collectors who appreciate Tokuriki's evening scenes.
