Description
A tall wooden pagoda with multiple tiered roofs rises above a stone stairway and terrace, with a smaller temple roof visible behind it and a flowering tree at lower left. The palette is muted and largely monochrome—grey, beige, and soft pink—with fine diagonal linework suggesting falling rain across the scene. Two small figures in dark clothing walk near the base of the steps; the print is a woodblock print titled *The Pagoda of Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto* by Ito Nisaburo.
