About This Print
Sarusawa Pond in Nara on a rainy day. One of the most popular subjects for shin hanga print artists, with seemingly each of those artists having depicted the pond with its five-tiered pagoda in the background at some point in their career."This pond is located within Nara Park, and has a circumference of 360 meters. The five-storied pagoda of Kofuku-ji Temple, as well as the willow trees surrounding the pond reflect beautifully in his surface, and are recognized as one of the Eight Views of Nara."1
