Notes: Masao Ido’s 四国 石手寺 (Ishiteji Temple) captures a spectacular image of Ishiteji Temple, the 51st temple on the renowned Shikoku Pilgrimage (四国八十八箇所巡礼), located in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture. Guarded by Kongorikishi (金剛力士) deities, a lone pilgrim approaches the temple’s imposing 仁王門 Niomon Gate - the path flanked by lush greenery & ancient trees. A magnificent piece with beautifully soft “gomazuri” textures & colours of Ido Green, emphasising the enduring harmony between sacred spaces and the natural world. A larger, smaller edition run, & earlier piece in incredible condition.
