Description
A tall five-story pagoda in reddish-orange and dark wood tones rises against a deep blue night sky, its tiered roofs silhouetted beneath a full moon. Dark foliage frames the structure on the left and right, with a low fenced enclosure and stone steps at its base, where two small figures in kimono stand on the path. Tsuchiya Koitsu, "Kinryuzan Temple," 1938, woodblock print.
