Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto (Night) is a serene and atmospheric woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, one of the leading artists of the shin-hanga movement.

The composition captures the famous temple’s wooden terrace under a deep blue night sky, overlooking the city of Kyoto. A solitary figure stands at the edge, gazing into the distance, while a warm interior light glows softly from within the building.

Hasui’s mastery lies in his ability to evoke silence, light, and atmosphere. The contrast between the cool tones of the night and the subtle warmth of the illuminated interior creates a contemplative and almost cinematic scene.

Unlike Edo-period ukiyo-e artists such as Hiroshige, Hasui integrates modern sensibilities, including Western perspective and a refined treatment of light, while preserving the traditional woodblock technique.

This museum-quality reproduction preserves the delicate gradations, soft textures, and deep tonal richness of the original shin-hanga print.

A perfect piece for collectors of Japanese art, lovers of Kyoto, and interiors seeking calm, elegance, and a meditative atmosphere.
