Utagawa Kuniyoshi Woodblock Print. Nichiren Praying for Rain at Ryozen-ga-saki, Kamakura, 1271. Very rare estate item – this is a higly valued and sought after Kuniyoshi print. Framed – and unopened by me. See photo’s for description. Please ask if you require more specific images. 36.2cm x 23.5cm visible print size, so will likely be standard 24.5 x 36.8 cm behind matting. The monk Nichiren prays for rain and is immediately rewarded with a downpour. This event takes place at the Ryôzengasaki in Kamakura in 1271. Considered the second-greatest design in this famous series, there is drama in the rain and drama in the waves and drama in Nichiren’s acolytes as they witness this miracle. Nichiren was the founder of the esoteric Buddhist Nichiren sect. The year 1831 marked the 550th anniversary of his death and it is thought that this series may have been designed as a tribute. Kuniyoshi was a follower of the Nichiren sect and was buried at the Daisenji, a temple of this denomination. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Prints”. The seller is “blackcash57″ and is located in this country: NZ. This item can be shipped worldwide.
