Description

The image at that path does not match the given facts — it shows a textile, not a woodblock print: a red silk garment (robe/vestment) laid flat, with elaborate gold-metallic brocade borders featuring cranes in flight, stylized wave patterns, and cloud-and-scroll medallions in blue, green, red, and cream. There's a plain tan/khaki lining visible down the center opening, with an orange tie fastener and a fabric loop at the neck for hanging.

This is clearly not "Shiba Zojoji Temple" by Shiro Kasamatsu (which would be a 1934 shin-hanga landscape print of a temple gate) — it's a photograph of an embroidered/brocade robe. I'd flag this as an image/metadata mismatch rather than write a description pretending otherwise. Do you want me to check whether the wrong file landed at that path, or is this intentionally a test of the mismatch-detection flow?
