A dilapidated shrine nestles deep in a forested mountain side with a cluster of stone Jizo and a fudomyo climbing the green hillside behind signed Koho and dating to the late Meiji. A quiet and contemplative scene reflecting the quality of the art of the time, the subject not overstated but resting silently awaiting our discovery. The scene is quite personal, inviting the viewer into its depths for a moment of silence where only the falling of the pine needles and call of a distant bird may di ...click for details
