This is a print by Asada Benji (1899-1984) of the Pagoda at Ninnaji Temple. Here's a link to what I've copied here and another link there to additional info.

Best regards,

Not yet antique, but vintage. It is by Asada Benji and is Springtime at Ninnaji Temple. See the link below:

You're welcome. I enjoy doing it. It gives me an excuse to look up an unknown print. I haven't bought a print in over a year - until this weekend. I have 7 early (pre-1844) Kunisada prints in the mail. I prefer his early work.

Cheers,
Stan
