The image displays the West Gate (Sai-mon) of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, located in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, Japan, at night. The prominent subject is a two-tiered traditional Japanese building, characterized by its dark, multi-layered tiled roof with distinctive upward-curving eaves. White, intricate decorative patterns, likely carvings or plasterwork, are visible against the dark wooden fascia beneath the eaves. Small, dark bells are suspended from the underside of these eaves. The highest point of the upper roof tier features a distinct ornamental finial. The lower section of the building showcases prominent horizontal bright yellow panels framed by dark wooden posts and beams. A dark, grid-patterned double door is visible on the lower right side of the structure, accompanied by a dark, screened window to its right. Artificial lighting illuminates the yellow panels and the white eave decorations, imparting a strong yellow-green luminescence. The sky above is uniformly dark grey, indicating nighttime or deep twilight conditions. On the right side of the frame, green foliage from a tree partially obstructs the upper portion of the building's roof. The photograph is taken from a low, upward-angled perspective. No individuals, subjects, or actions are discernible within the scene.
