A winter sunset at Godaido Temple, on the shores of Matsushima Bay. In the foreground, a trio of small wooden boats are tied up close together. Beyond, the small Godaido Temple stands on its own tiny island: surrounded by trees, accessed from the mainland via a short wooden bridge, the temple appears dark and deserted. Further on, a scattered handful of other treed and rocky islands populate Matsushima Bay; a lone pilot steers a small boat from right to left. Above, the sunset has turned the sky shades of coral and pink. The trees, temple and boats are covered with a layer of fresh snow.
