Description
A long, white-walled temple building with a dark tiled roof and latticed windows sits behind a still pond that mirrors its reflection; a stone lantern and low garden wall stand at the water's edge. Bare-branched trees rise above the roofline against a pale grey sky, and the composition is rendered in muted whites, greys, and dark browns. Woodblock print, "Souvenirs of Travel, Second Series: Byodo temple, Uji (Tabi miyage dainishu: Uji Byodoin no ichibu)," by Kawase Hasui, year unknown.
