- Description
This is a painting of the scenery of the Hokki-ji temple lighted by the moonlight. The moon is expressed indirectly by the unpainted space. The subtle and profound pagoda is depicted with slight gold paint. The simple way the trees are expressed emphasizes the main theme, the Hokki-ji temple. There is a tranquil night atmosphere. The unpainted blank space is extremely exquisite. All harmonize with each other, and produce a profound and mysterious atmosphere. This is the masterpiece expressed by Takayoshi Satou’s prominent painting technique and keen sense of beauty.
