- Description
- A gray watercoloured stone path leads back to a Japanese temple with two levels of curving roof. The path winds through a garden of stone sculptures that stand on pedestals before reaching the temple. The temple is coloured with red on the outside walls and windows are yellow and the sloping roofs are green. A stone wall is to the right of the temple and behind it is a tree trunk painted in brown with two branches in yellow and green. Framing the image to the right is the beginning of a curved gable that enters into the frame but is discontinued.
