Description
A vermillion-red temple gate with a dark tiled roof stands beneath a tall, dark tree silhouetted against a night sky flecked with stars. Two small figures in white and dark clothing walk along the stone path in front of the gate, and a low white wall extends to the right under a pale crescent moon glow. Woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, "Starry Night at Tsubosaka Temple, Nara."
