Description
A wooden shrine or temple veranda with a dark tiled roof frames the foreground, its railing and support post at right; stone steps lead up to the covered platform, with a bronze lantern standing beside the railing. Beyond, a mass of white cherry blossoms fills the middle distance in front of a small red/vermilion structure and dark green trees, under a pale sky. Woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, "Cherry Blossom."
