Notes: A spectacular print by Masao Ido depicting a kawara-tiled wall, an enduring element of traditional Japanese architecture. Cast in shade, the fired clay kawara tiles are decorated with carved floral and spiral pattern, reflecting the detailed craftsmanship typical of historic temples and townhouses. The weathered 土塀 (dobei, earthen wall) beneath conveys a sense of age and quiet resilience, while scattered green maple leaves provide a delicate contrast, evoking the natural rhythms of early autumn. A beautiful & calm composition where Ido captures the quiet harmony between built heritage and the natural world.
