Artwork · Anonymous · 1644 · building · Tō-ji Temple

Rebuilt with funds from the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu after a fire in 1641 and completed three years later in the traditional manner: remarkable for its austerity and restrained eclecticism, relatively free of surface and sculptural ornament. 1 Mason 2005, p. 305, fig. 352. ↩ Literatur Mason 2005: Penelope E.
