life-like shadowing; highly detailed carving. |

Comments |
Delightful springtime temple image. Narazaki reports that this composition was designed with an
interest in depicting the complex shadows seen cast upon the flagstones of the temple's path and steps.
Interestingly, the "backwards swastika" symbol is actually the Japanese kanji for "temple." |
