About This Print

An untitled scene of a pagoda within a temple grounds.  Occasionally, there is a verso of a print that is particularly appealing, as in this print.  The colors are pretty accurate, so one has to wonder about the technique that created the dappled dark blue background of the print, given the much lighter blue ink penetration on the verso.  As can be seen below, another edition of this print was created.
