Description
A night scene at Sengaku-ji Temple by Kawase Hasui, rendered in deep indigo and blue-grey tones with a single star visible in the sky. A low temple building with a tiled roof and lit paper windows stands behind a wooden gate post, framed by two tall, slender trees with dark asymmetrical foliage; a lantern marked with characters hangs at right. A single robed figure walks alone on the path in front of the temple, the only human presence in the quiet, shadowed setting.
