Description
A vermillion-red shrine building with a dark tiled roof stretches across the composition, fronted by a low stone-and-wood fence and stone steps; a tall dark green tree rises behind it against a sky of pale clouds. In the foreground, two brown deer stand on the grounds near the fence. Kawase Hasui, "Deer at the Kasuga Shrine in Nara," woodblock print.
