Description
Two deer, one antlered, stand on a stone-paved path in the foreground of a green, rolling landscape; behind them sits a small red-and-white shrine building beneath a rounded hill, under a pale blue sky with soft white clouds. The palette is dominated by muted greens and blue-greys, with the red shrine roof as the sole strong accent. "Deer Strolling along Kasuga Shrine, Nara," a woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, date unknown.
