A solitary figure visits Osaka's Shitennoji Temple on a dark winter night, pausing in the deserted courtyard. Footprints in the fresh snow reveal the figure's interrupted progress; the bamboo umbrella the figure holds hides their head. Beyond, the nearby temple buildings are deserted and closed up, while further on, taller buildings and the five-story pagoda are shadowy, details obscured by the dim light. Snow falls across the scene.
