This charming vintage print was part of a series of pencil and charcoal sketches done by US military artists in 1945.  It was part of an 18-piece collection of similar pencil sketches, all done by US Military artists to document post-war Japan., called "Sketches of Japan 1945".

This vintage print reproduces an original pencil sketch of Kyoto's famous Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji), depicting the celebrated temple reflected in a tranquil pond with soft, atmospheric shading. The image includes a handwritten title, "Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji)", along with the note "About 540 years old," adding period charm and historical context.

The artist was Robert Vrooman, one of three artists who contributed to the series.

Original artwork dates 1945, with this reproduction likely made 1950s to 1970s.

Matted in white - 11" x 14" (9.5" x 7.5" opening) - Does not include frame.
