「陽明門」 （1937）【最高画質版】

【日光 東照宮】（NIKKO TOSHOGU / にっこう とうしょうぐう）
日本の関東地方北部、栃木県日光市に所在する神社。江戸幕府初代将軍・徳川家康を神格化した東照大権現（とうしょうだいごんげん）を祀る。日本全国の東照宮の総本社的存在である。正式名称は地名等を冠称しない「東照宮」であるが、他の東照宮との区別のために、「日光東照宮」と呼ばれることが比較的多い。


【陽明門】（YOMEIMON / ようめいもん）
日光東照宮の陽明門は、建物全体がおびただしい数の極彩色の彫刻で覆われ、一日じゅう見ていても飽きないということから、「日暮御門」と称されている。門の名は平安京大内裏外郭十二門のうちの陽明門に由来する。陽明門は、表門から参道を進み、石段を2つ上った先に南面して建つ。門の左右は袖塀を介して東西廻廊につながる。門を入ると正面が唐門で、その先には拝殿がある。


【Yoshida Hiroshi】
(吉田 博 Yoshida Hiroshi, September 19, 1876 – April 5, 1950) was a 20th-century Japanese painter and woodblock printmaker. He is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the shin-hanga style, and is noted especially for his excellent landscape prints. Yoshida travelled widely, and was particularly known for his images of non-Japanese subjects done in traditional Japanese woodblock style, including the Taj Mahal, the Swiss Alps, the Grand Canyon, and other National Parks in the United States.

Hiroshi Yoshida (born Hiroshi Ueda) was born in the city of Kurume, Fukuoka, in Kyushu, on September 19, 1876. He showed an early aptitude for art fostered by his adoptive father, a teacher of painting in the public schools. At age 19 he was sent to Kyoto to study under Tamura Shoryu, a well known teacher of western style painting. He then studied under Koyama Shotaro, in Tokyo, for another three years.

In 1899, Yoshida had his first American exhibition at Detroit Museum of Art (now Detroit Institute of Art). He then traveled to Boston, Washington, D.C., Providence and Europe. In 1920, Yoshida presented his first woodcut at the Watanabe Print Workshop, organized by Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885–1962), publisher and advocate of the shin-hanga movement. However, Yoshida's collaboration with Watanabe was short partly due to Watanabe's shop burning down because of the Great Kanto earthquake on September 1, 1923.

In 1925, he hired a group of professional carvers and printers, and established his own studio. Prints were made under his close supervision. Yoshida combined the ukiyo-e collaborative system with the sōsaku-hanga principle of "artist's prints", and formed a third school, separating himself from the shin-hanga and sōsaku-hanga movement.
