Description
A vermilion shrine building with a dark tiled roof and green-and-gold painted eaves stands behind a low red wall, a tall tree with green foliage growing beside it and leaning over the walkway. A single figure in a pale robe walks along the wet stone pavement in front, the ground reflecting the surrounding structures under an overcast grey sky. Muted greys and browns surround the saturated red architecture in this woodblock print titled "Sanno Shrine After Rain" by Kawase Hasui.
