Description
A small wooden shrine building with a blue-tiled roof stands at the center, its doors hung with paper or cloth zigzag strips (shide) and a round emblem above the entrance; a torii-like gate frame rises behind it. In the foreground a traveler in a blue robe and wide straw hat, carrying a bundle and staff, pauses before the shrine, while a bare tree scatters leaves across the muted beige, green, and blue palette of the scene; a wooden fence and distant blue hills recede at left. This woodblock print, titled *Kannnon Syoji Temple*, is by Hiromitsu Nakazawa (year unknown).
