A rainy day at Todai-ji, Nara. Two female figures in kimono carry umbrellas as they walk past the Kagame-ike (Mirror Pond) just behind the Daibutsu-den (Hall of the Great Buddha). A string of tall wiry pine trees line up along the edge of the pond; beyond, details of the tall multi-layered Daibutsu-den are indistinct in the gloom. The sky above is overcast, and light rain falls on the scene; in the foreground, the still surface of the pond reflects the scene

Title: Daibutsu-den, Nara (1950)

Artist: Hasui Kawase
