Interior of the Kannon Temple at Asakusa (Asakusa Kannon-dô no naidô)

Interior of the Kannon Temple at Asakusa (Asakusa Kannon-dô no naidô), a woodblock print by Narazaki Eisho, shows the darkened wooden interior of a temple hall lit by a row of large hanging paper lantern lamps marked with the manji symbol, suspended over a red offertory chest and wooden collection boxes. Doves or pigeons scatter across the worn plank floor and wheel through the shadowy upper rafters, while visitors in kimono and Western-style coats move along the hall and pause at a rack of paper omikuji fortunes on the left; sunlit red temple gates and a further pagoda-roofed structure are visible through the open doorway beyond. The palette is dominated by deep browns, blacks, and red-orange against the pale grey lanterns and a strip of bright blue sky in the background.
