Japanese engraving, woodcut by the artist K. Sasajima.

Woodblock print by kihei sasajima (1906-93), vintage artwork 1971. In this print by sasajima, there is a lively rhythm in the band of clouds. The design seems, in a sense, to be about movement. Yet the majestic temple rises above it all, imposing a contradictory feeling of stillness and permanence. A close look at sasajima's technique rewards the effort: the deep grooves in the unprinted areas add to the vivid rendering of japan's iconic symbol. Sasajima's works are part of numerous public collections. Condition: good print, brown spots mainly at the bottom, stuck to the paper backing, heavy embossing. Please view photos to assess condition.
