Description
A two-story red temple gate with a green tiled roof rises between two dark, textured tree trunks, seen from a shaded path where two small figures walk in the foreground. The scene is rendered in flat blocks of red, green, and grey-blue, with mottled green-and-black shadow patterns across the ground and a pale blue sky visible through the branches above. Gen Yamaguchi's 1953 woodblock print, printed in ink and color on paper, bears his red seal in the lower right corner.
