About this print
On the left towers a large tree with yellowed leaves. Around the pagoda at the back grow trees with whitish blossoms or leaves and trees with reddish-brown leaves, and on the right a long green hedge runs on. On the road are a person in pale clothes and one in a red kimono, and on the ground beside the cart are two things that look like birds.
The five-story pagoda of Tennoji (originally Kannoji) was built in 1644, burned in a fire in 1772 and was rebuilt in 1791. It is said to have stood about 34.2 meters tall.
In the pale blue sky at the upper right, the small dark shapes of several birds are scattered here and there, at almost the same height as the pagoda's slender tip.
