About the Item

Ido Masao (b. 1945) – '秋日高山寺 Autumn Day, Kozanji Temple, Kyoto Original Japanese Woodblock Print 26.5 × 36.5 cm (10.43 × 14.37 in) Edition: 103/300 Signed, titled numbered in pencil Artist’s red seal lower right A luminous celebration of Kyoto in autumn, this original woodblock print by Ido Masao captures the quiet poetry of Kozan-ji Temple—a UNESCO heritage site renowned for natural beauty and deep cultural significance. Bathed in rich seasonal color, the scene leads the viewer up a softly winding stone path scattered with golden leaves, framed by brilliant red and yellow foliage. The composition balances serenity and movement with remarkable harmony: tonal gradation, layered pigment, and understated linework embody the essence of traditional Japanese printmaking while feeling unmistakably modern. This impression is editioned 103/300, titled, signed, and numbered in pencil by the artist along the lower margin. The artist’s personal seal appears in the lower right, confirming authenticity and adding to its aesthetic presence. Measuring 26.5 × 36.5 cm (10.43 × 14.37 inches), the work offers strong wall presence yet remains intimate—perfect for collectors of Japanese shin-hanga / sōsaku-hanga prints, interior designers seeking refined cultural warmth, or anyone drawn to Japanese landscape art that whispers rather than shouts. About the Artist – Ido Masao Born in 1945 in Kyoto, Ido Masao is highly regarded for his contemporary approach to the traditional mokuhanga woodblock technique. His works often depict iconic Japanese temples, gardens, and pathways with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than realism, using layered color and simplified forms to evoke memory, season, and silence. Masao’s prints are held in private and public collections internationally and are particularly prized for their meditative stillness and refined craftsmanship. A standout example of modern Japanese woodblock printing—elegant, tranquil, and steeped in place. A superb acquisition for the curated interior or the discerning collector. The print will be shipped insured overseas. Cost of insured transport to the US, Euro 125. Colors may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor settings. Wear consistent with age and use. Import of Art, Japanese woodblock prints, into the United States, are exempt from all U.S. import tariffs. Please do check!

Traditional Japanese Woodblock Print by Nishijima Katsuyuki
Located in Weesp, NL
Nishijima Katsuyuki (西島 勝之) is a contemporary Japanese artist known for his woodblock prints, which often depict traditional Japanese architecture and landscapes. Born in 1945 in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, Nishijima studied at the Kyoto Prefecture Art School and began his career as a painter before transitioning to woodblock printing. His works are celebrated for their detailed and vibrant representation of the Japanese countryside and urban scenes. Nishijima's prints are recognized for their use of bold colors and intricate details. He employs traditional woodblock printing techniques, which involve carving the image into woodblocks, inking the blocks, and then pressing them onto paper. Each color in the print requires a separate block and precise alignment, or registration, to create the final image. The print's title is "Bunraku" and is one of Nishijima's works that showcase traditional Japanese buildings and scenes. The print features a detailed depiction of a traditional Japanese storefront with a noren...
