Description
Tanigumi Temple in Mino Province (Gifu Prefecture) is a Tendai Buddhist temple in the mountains north of Gifu city, known for its wisteria garden and for being one of the oldest temples in the Chubu region. This 1947 print likely shows the temple approach through mature cryptomeria forest, the main hall and its gateway visible at the end of the cedar avenue. The mountain temple in summer or autumn forest is one of Hasui's most practiced compositional formulas, executed here in the inland mountain setting of northern Gifu.
