Description
A five-story wooden pagoda with a tall spire rises above dense pine and cherry trees, framed by low hills in the background. Cherry blossoms in white and pale pink dominate the foreground on dark, gnarled branches, with a Japanese inscription and a red seal near the lower left. The palette is soft and muted — grays, greens, and blush pinks — giving the scene a quiet, spring garden atmosphere.
