Description

A two-story red temple gate with green tiled roofs stands framed between two dark tree trunks, one marked with a chain of small painted medallions. Two small dark-clad figures walk on the pale path before the entrance, dwarfed by the structure's scale, with a red boundary wall extending to the right and dense green foliage and blue sky filling the upper portion of the composition. The palette of deep red, green, and blue, rendered in flat woodblock textures with visible grain patterns, gives the scene a still, quiet atmosphere; a small red artist's seal appears in the lower right corner. Mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock) print, "Zojoji Temple" by Gen Yamaguchi.
