Japanese Lanterns - unfinished plate

Here's the unfinished plate for a print I've been working on for quite a while now. The design was done about a year and half ago, from a combination of photographs and personal memories. There are quite a few shrines and temples like this in Japan. It's a wonderful experience to go visit one on a summer night when the air is still and heavy, and the sounds of the city are muffled by the trees on the temple grounds.

I made a mistake on this plate, and cheated by filling it in with wood putty. Normally I refrain from doing that, but this print had been so long in coming that I really didn't feel like starting over... Posted by Picasa
