Description
A long, low shrine building with a dark tilted roof and vermillion-orange pillars stretches diagonally across the composition, fronted by a row of grey stone lanterns lining a low wall. Two brown deer stand on the open sandy ground in the foreground, near stone steps leading up to the building, while a tall dark green tree fills the upper left against a blue sky streaked with pale clouds. Kawase Hasui, "Kasuga Shrine, Nara (Nara Kasuga jinja)," from the series *Souvenirs of Travel, Second Series (Tabi miyage dai nishu)*, 1921, color woodblock print, ōban.
