A temple opening on a field of gold
Yokoo sets a red sun, a crane and descending deities adrift on open gold, borrowing the calm of a temple screen. The metallic ground records every touch, and this sheet shows its handling. It remains a quiet, unusual entry among his 1970s posters.
Best for: Collectors of Yokoo posters and Buddhist-themed graphic design
Condition notes
Many finger marks and spots on the gold ground, a tear of about 3 cm at the upper edge, slight corner folds, toning and many rolling creases.
No pin holes or tape marks are reported.
Grades, ratings and commentary are given to the best of our ability, knowledge and experience, and condition remains partly a matter of personal perception. What we stand behind without qualification is authenticity, truthful description and provenance, to the best of our knowledge. How we grade

This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate.

The poster for a Tadanori Yokoo solo exhibition marking the opening of the treasure hall at Sojiji, the Soto Zen head temple, designed by the artist in 1975. It is printed in offset on a metallic gold ground at B1 size.
The Piece
The gold field is left largely open. A red sun fades to white at its lower edge, with a crane in flight above it. A standing deity descends on clouds at the right, and a gilded figure rides a longer trail of cloud across the centre. Peonies with a small bird fill one corner, and a vignette of breaking waves sits beside them. A thin red rule finishes the top and bottom edges.
The printed credit Tadanori Yokoo appears in small type near the lower border.
