Description
A covered vermillion-pillared corridor with a grey-shingled roof extends across the foreground, hanging lanterns suspended from its beams, opening onto a view of connected shrine buildings with white walls and grey roofs over water; pine trees and pale blue mountains are visible in the distance under a light sky. A lone figure in blue stands beneath the corridor on the left. Kawase Hasui, "A Corridor at Miyajima (Miyajima no kairo)," 1949, color woodblock print.
