A view looking out over Morinji-Numa, a flat, marshy stretch of land. In the foreground, a curving stream joins the larger marsh. On our right, two figures sit with fishing poles, one person on the bank and one in a small open boat nearby. On the other side of the marsh, tall trees surround and mostly hide the small thatched-roof gate and main building of Morin-ji Temple. Above, the sky is dingy and overcast.

Title: Morin-ji in Spring (1951)
