日光二荒山神社，正式名二荒山神社，因为与宇都宫二荒山神社区别，故前缀“日光”二字。神社坐落于今栃木县日光市，始建于公元8世纪，由本社、中宫祠与奥宫三部分组成，主祭神为二荒山大神三尊（大国主神、田心姬命与味耜高彦根命）。黑云压境未几，滂沱大雨落下，层叠的树影中，反射出无数光斑的青石板道上，铁青色的东鸟居被雨水冲刷出如漆面的质感。透过鸟居向内望，神社本殿、拜殿与社务所等建筑的屋顶皆被氤氲的水汽所笼罩至泛白，朦胧的只能看出一个大形。远景高处，海拔近2500米的男体山微露。由葱郁树木构成的轮廓，在光逸的笔下犹如被晕染开的墨迹，与大雨相得益彰，只需一瞥，就可使人身临其境，透过鼻尖，嗅到湿润的气息。

Tsuchiya Koitsu (1870–1949)
For Tsuchiya Koitsu, in a sense, life began at 60. That’s when he met Shozaburo Watanabe and started publishing designs with him. Decades earlier, he’d been a student of the legendary Ukiyoe master Kobayashi Kiyochika for 19 years — even living in his house — and was known for his dramatic triptyches portraying the Sino-Japanese War of the 1890s. In the end it was his work with Watanabe that gained him fame, and his particularly modern appreciation of water reflections and light effects.
