Sumiyoshi Full Moon - Fantastic print showing the 13th century Japanese poet Teika having fallen asleep at the Shinto shrine at Sumiyoshi. Teika was highly respected for his poetry as well as his editing of the "Tale of Genji." The shrine was dedicated to the god of poetry and in this lovely scene, the deity appears out of a dark mist above him in delicately embossed robes. Lovely print with fine bokashi shading and burnishing in the black cap.
