Notes: A fabulous print by Tomikichiro Tokuriki, titled 城南宮 (Jonangu Shrine), showcasing the historic Heian-era (794–1185) garden of Jonangu Shrine in southern Kyoto. Built in 794 as a place of purification for the imperial court, Jonangu is renowned for its gardens, which embody classical Japanese design principles. This view, framed by a tatami-floored room and open shoji screen, features carefully arranged stones, dwarf palms, and lush greenery, symbolizing natural harmony and balance. The composition reflects the integration of architecture and landscape that has defined Japanese aesthetics for centuries.
