Description
A black-and-white woodblock print depicting a single-story temple building with an ornately tiled, sweeping hipped roof topped with a decorative finial, rendered entirely in bold black ink against the unprinted paper. The structure sits on a raised thatched or tiled platform with a lattice-windowed facade and bracketed eaves, flanked by dense clusters of stylized trees and shrubs on either side; a small red seal appears in the lower left corner beside the artist's pencil signature. *Sutra Depository at Iwayaji Temple, Aichi Prefecture*, woodblock print by Hiratsuka Un'ichi, 1936.
