Description
Japanese Woodblock Print, 1948, published by Unsodo
SIZE IN INCHES: chuban 10.5 x 7.75 inches
COMMENTS: Together with the willow and mountain laurel, the Takao maple tree is the Kyoto city tree and loved by its citizens. The Takao's rich colors add to the beauty of Kyoto's bright autumnal tints and have captivated the hearts of the Japanese people for centuries. In Japan viewing the fall colors is as important a traditional past time as viewing the cherry blossoms in the spring. The maple trees most common to Japan are called Takao maple, or Iroha maple. Takao, the place after which the tree is named, is one of the three famous spots in the foothills of Kyoto's northwestern mountains (together with Makino-o and Togano-o).
HIDEO NISHIYAMA was born in Kyoto and graduated from the Kyoto City Specialist School of Painting. In 1948 he created a series of woodblock print designs for the publisher Unsodo called "Twelve Views of Kyoto."
