Description
A tall wooden temple gate with a double tiered gray roof dominates the composition, its dark timber columns and closed doors set back beneath the upper balcony. Maple trees in orange, gold, and green frame the structure on both sides, and the stone pavement in the foreground holds broad reflective puddles from recent rain; two small figures in dark robes walk near the gate's right side. Kawase Hasui, "Late Autumn Rain, Nanzen Temple, Kyoto" (Shigure no ato (Kyoto Nanzenji)), 1951, color woodblock print.
