Kinryuzan Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo, was extremely busy. However, here, the busy daytime scene is avoided in favor of a midnight scene of the temple grounds with a full moon hanging in the sky. The full view of the soaring five-story pagoda is depicted with skillful use of light and dark, a technique unique to Kouitsu.

東京都台東区浅草にある金龍山浅草寺は大変な賑わいを見せていました。昼間の賑やかな光景を避け満月が空にかかる真夜中の境内を表現しています。高くそびえる五重塔の全景を光悦ならではの巧みな明暗で描いています。
