Description
Kiyomizudera, the great temple on the eastern hills of Kyoto, is shown here from its famous wooden stage — a platform extending from the main hall over the hillside — with the city spread below and the mountains of Higashiyama rising behind. This oban print from the "Famous Places in Kyoto" series, made around 1834, captures the temple in spring or summer, the forested hillside dense and green.
