Description
A red, two-tiered pagoda-roofed gate with dark walls stands against a pale blue sky, flanked by tall trees rendered in mottled blue-green. In the foreground, spiky blue-green agave-like plants rise from a slope of tan and blue grasses rendered in short, textured strokes. Onchi Koshiro's woodblock print, "Side Gate of a Confucian Temple in Formosa" (date unknown), uses a muted palette of indigo, red-brown, and ochre throughout.
