Description
A vermillion-red shrine gate and low temple building sit behind a stone wall and bridge, dwarfed by a dense grove of tall trees with rust-orange and green foliage rising against a pale sky. A single small figure in dark clothing walks along the path in front of the gate. *Asama shrine in Shizuoka*, woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
