Toshi Yoshida: Linnoji (Rinnoji Temple) Garden, pencil signed (Sold)

Artist: Toshi Yoshida (1911-1995)
Title: Linnoji (Rinnoji Temple) Garden   Date: 1941

We see two women groundskeepers bent down to their work. They are dressed in work clothes, and the woman on the left wields a gardening tool. Descending the steps to a pond is a woman visitor in a lovely purple kimono. As there does not seem to be a Linno-ji temple, this may be the Shoyo-en garden at the (World Heritage) Rinno-ji temple in Nikko. This is a pencil-signed, lifetime edition.

Condition: Excellent impression, color and condition. Minor spots in right margin.

Dimensions: chuban (20.3 x 27.4 cm)
Publisher: Self-published by the artist.
Signature: Toshi Yoshida (in pencil, lower right)
