Description
Viewed from beneath a temple veranda roof, a row of hanging paper and metal lanterns frames a view out toward distant blue-grey mountains and a pale evening sky. A lone figure in a pale robe stands at the wooden railing looking out over the landscape, the dark interior of the temple porch contrasting with the muted blues and tans of the hills beyond. The overall palette is soft and subdued, evoking a quiet dusk atmosphere. *Nigatsudo Temple, Nara*, woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
