Description
Ninnai Temple — likely a variant reading of Ninna-ji in northwestern Kyoto, one of the city's great imperial temple complexes — is rendered in woodblock with the numerical designation #647 suggesting this may be a catalog or series number. Ninna-ji is famous for its late-blooming cherry trees and its five-story pagoda; Tanaka's print likely focuses on the architectural envelope of the temple's extensive precinct rather than its most celebrated scenographic views.
