About this artwork

This 1931 print shows the Golden Temple in Amritsar, also known as Harmandir Sahib. It is the work of Hiroshi Yoshida, a Japanese artist born in 1876, who made woodblock prints of landscapes and places from many parts of the world. The print was made in the Shōwa era and is a horizontal ōban format, in ink and colour on paper. Yoshida printed it himself, a method known as jizuri. It carries his signature in the block, along with his pencil signature in the lower right margin and his seal.

On your wall: Its subject and carefully built woodblock colour suit a study, living room or hallway, particularly where travel and Japanese art are already appreciated.
