Gorinto - a type of Buddhist pagoda, used for memorial or funerary purposes and also meditation. It represents the five elements: earth, water, fire, wind, and space. I saw this Gorinto in a neighbour's garden during my stay in Karuizawa in 2023. 

I first painted  the form with sumi on thin paper, with a Japanese brush. Then I glued the paper to the block with nori before I carved.

In this print I used: 

• Gomazuri (sesame printing)
