A print from the “Eight Views of Ōmi Province” series, a quiet landscape built up in layers of mist: a rocky promontory with pines in the foreground, a lake and distant mountains fading into the haze. The moon over the water holds the whole composition as the only point of clarity among the muted grays and blues.
The temple itself is almost hidden; only its roof is visible among the pines on the left. On the right, a long bridge stretches across the lake, and a cartouche with verses is set into the upper corner.
