Description
A vermillion-red shrine building with an ornate, multi-tiered curved roof stands beneath dark green foliage, with a matching red torii gate visible to its right and a small stone lantern in the foreground courtyard. Two figures in dark clothing walk across the pale gray courtyard in the lower right, and the muted, overcast sky gives the scene a quiet, damp atmosphere. Woodblock print, Tsushima Shrine, Tsujima, by Kawase Hasui.
