Temple and shrine subjects form the backbone of Hasui's rural Japan repertoire — steady, consistently popular categories that hold value across all market conditions. Snow at temple subjects command the highest premiums (Snow at Tosho-gu Shrine in Ueno achieved $3,200 at Artelino; Saishoin Temple in the Snow reached $3,000). Standard pre-war temple scenes without snow trade between $1,000–$3,500. Postwar lifetime editions (1946–1957) bearing the small 6mm J-seal represent authentic lifetime impressions but from the artist's final decade.
Tsushima Shrine in Aichi Prefecture, published in 1948, depicts the Tsushima Shrine in Tsushima city — one of the most venerable Shinto shrines in the Tokai region, dedicated to a plague-prevention deity and famous for its summer Tenno Matsuri festival featuring illuminated barges on the river. The shrine's complex, set in a wooded precinct along the Shonai River, represents one of the most historically significant sacred sites in Owari Province, and Hasui's 1948 composition likely captures the shrine's wooded approach and main structures in the postwar calm that followed the destruction of the surrounding region.
