Description:

This unordinary print comprises of the rock wall and moat around a castle. The lower half of the print shows a bustling crowd of people heading toward the gateway of a Shinto shrine. Notice the matching sunset pink and ombre effect of the clouds in the front – Hiroshige’s impeccable attention to detail comes through in this interesting scene.
