Description
A weathered stone shrine compound sits atop a barren, rocky summit, framed by a dark wooden roof beam at left and a white torii gate leading to inscribed stone stelae and a small offering hall hung with a shimenawa rope and folded paper streamers. In the muted grey and beige palette, two travelers in blue robes, yellow capes, and wide straw hats walk along the stony path on the right, dwarfed by piles of rubble-like volcanic rock; a bare wooden bench and low stool stand empty in the foreground. Vertical text along the right margin gives the title and artist signature, consistent with the identified work "Asama Shrine (Mt. Fuji)" by Tomikichiro Tokuriki, mokuhanga.
