Description
A tall stone lantern with an openwork, latticed fire chamber rises from a lily pond, its dark silhouette reflected in the blue-green water among scattered white water lilies and lily pads. Behind it, a bank of green grasses and dark indigo foliage closes off the background beneath a grey sky. Tomikichiro Tokuriki's mokuhanga print "Summer At Jojuri-ji temple" uses flat passages of indigo, jade, and grey with a single band of vermillion accenting the lantern's midsection; the artist's red seal and a vertical column of Japanese characters appear at right, with his signature at lower left.
