Description
A full moon glows above a tiled temple gate roof with upturned eaves, rendered in dark blue-black tones against a paler night sky. A single robed figure stands on the stone path before the whitewashed gatehouse wall, with distant hills silhouetted beyond; a red seal and vertical title text appear at the lower left. Woodblock print, "The Pulguksa Temple, Kyongju" (慶州 佛国寺), by Kawase Hasui, year unknown.
