Temples and Shrines - Seen by the masters of Japanese printing

Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines harmoniously dot the landscape of Japan, lying on a gentle slope or on a misty islet in the middle of a lake: they are the solemn witnesses of a culture pervaded by spirituality, which artists such as Hokusai, Hiroshige and Koitsu do not fail to illustrate reproduced in their famous prints alongside majestic vermilion red torii, colossal Buddha statues and monumental pagodas soaring towards the sky. With over seventy masterpieces that portray the ancient enchantment of sacred places, this precious box set celebrates the intimate bond of a people with the divine and with the elements of nature.
