A dark, rainy evening at Sengaku-ji, in Tokyo. A female figure and a child approach the temple; she is carrying a bamboo umbrella over their heads with one hand, and a lit lantern suspended from a pole in the other. Up ahead, another figure is closing their umbrella as they climb a short series of steps leading into a temple building. A pair of tall wiry trees stand in the foreground, near another temple building; the courtyard is slick with rain, reflecting and scattering light from the woman's lantern and the interior of the temple. Above, the sky is dark and overcast, and rain continues to fall across the scene.
