A UKIYO-E FOR AUTUMN



Daitokuji Takagiri-in



(Daitoku Temple Takagiri Villa) or Takagiri Pavillion at Daitoku Temple in Kyoto)
The temple compound, which was built by Lord Hosakawa Tadaoki in 1601 as a memorial to his later father, is known for the teahouse and the beautiful autumn colors to be found there. This hanga (modern ukiyo-e) is dated sometime between 1935 and 1960 by Kantatsu Yoshizawa (1915 – 1993)
