Konjikido Hall (Golden Hall), Chusonji Temple
金色堂　中尊寺
Koitsu Raisonne code: TK-TM-139

Artist: Tsuchiya Koitsu

English Title: Konjikido Hall (Golden Hall), Chusonji Temple
Japanese Title: 金色堂　中尊寺

Date: Circa 1930s

Publisher: Takemura

Medium: Woodblock

Format: Postcard

DB Record No.: 10097

Contributor: Era Woodblock Prints www.erawoodblockprints.com

Notes: Very rare. This scene is very similar to that of Kawase Hasui's scene of the same temple. "Chusonji Konjikido" title written above the red "Takemura" publisher seal. There is no artist signature or seal on this print (the print title "Konjikido" is placed where the artist signature usually is), so there is an element of artist attribution uncertainty, however, the style of the print is very similar to Koitsu's.
