The important thing is that this temple is right in the center of Tokyo, looks exactly like in this print, and is widely used as a quick refuge of tranquility for harried passersby as well as as a site for all kinds of ceremonies. A visit to an empty major cathedral in Europe will immediately bring up the contrast.

Thinking the print is in the collection of the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena?
