Description: In this print, Hiroshige is depicting the Kiryuzan Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple, and one of its most significant.

He chose to show the view of the temple from its ground garden. We can perceive it in the left part of the background and adjacent to it we can see the top of a five-story pagoda. In the foreground, we can perceive the garden of the temple with a small hill on the right side where two cherry trees are standing as the other protagonists in the landscape. Some houses or small businesses are on the right side welcoming the persons passing by.

This print is heavily toned and has holes, slits, and creases.
