About This Print
A luminous look into the mind of a saint? Typical of Tajima's works which always "seems to glow from behind, as though it incorporated a fluorescent light shielded by a mysteriously textured fabric."11 Who's Who in Modern Japanese Prints, Frances Blakemore, Weatherhill, 1975, p. 192.
