Description
An untitled view of temple grounds — the specific site unidentified but the subject unmistakably Hiratsuka's: stone lanterns, aged timber buildings, and sacred precincts documented in mid-20th-century woodblock, ink on paper. The print captures the atmosphere of a sacred enclosure, its unnamed status giving the image a generic rather than site-specific authority.
