Description
Shogetsuji Temple at Ito in Izu Province (Shizuoka Prefecture) is a Rinzai Zen temple near the Ito hot spring resort, its forested setting and tiled gate giving it the meditative character of a well-established mountain temple. This September 1933 print likely shows the temple in early autumn, the trees around the gate just beginning to show color. The Izu peninsula's combination of coastal resort and quiet inland temple subjects gave Hasui varied material on a single research trip.
