Description
A brown-roofed temple gate stands at the center of a wooded hillside, reached by a stone-paved path lined with low green shrubs; a stone lantern sits at the foot of the path beside a wooden signpost, and a railed footbridge crosses a gully in the lower right foreground. Dense clusters of green and rust-toned trees, including pines with wind-swept needles, surround the structure against bare tan sky. Rendered in muted greens, browns, and soft indigo outlines, this woodblock print titled "Matuo Temple" is by Hiromitsu Nakazawa.
