Pagoda in Kyoto 1942

"Pagoda in Kyoto" (1942) is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Toshi Yoshida (1911-1995). The print depicts a traditional five-story pagoda in Kyoto, Japan, standing tall against a serene sunset sky. A weeping willow tree in the foreground frames the pagoda, its branches cascading down to the calm waters of a pond. Yoshida's use of delicate lines and muted colors captures the tranquility and beauty of the Japanese landscape, making this a quintessential example of shin-hanga, the "new prints" movement of the early 20th century.
