The image depicts an outdoor scene at Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, Japan. A large, weathered stone komainu (guardian lion-dog) statue occupies the lower-center, sitting on a stone pedestal and oriented away from the viewer. To its right, a tall black flagpole supports a white Japanese flag (Hinomaru) with a red circle, unfurled by the wind. The flagpole is topped with a golden, ornate finial. In the upper left, a corner of a traditional Japanese temple building with a distinct multi-tiered, deep red roof and dark eaves is visible. Green trees with vibrant foliage are present behind the komainu and to the left. In the mid-ground, a stone staircase ascends, populated by approximately ten individuals in casual attire, some walking and others standing. Further right in the background, a manicured green landscape of sculpted foliage is visible. The sky is partly cloudy, displaying patches of blue amidst prominent white and grey clouds, indicating a bright day.
