The precincts of a temple

The compounds of an unknown temple. From the magnificent warehouse built in two stories it may be part of Zojoji Temple in Shiba, Tokyo. The edge of the great lantern can be seen in the left corner. The water basin hut is large, and the decorative sink which is probably made of bronze next to the well is also large. The birds in the trees add charm to the photo.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number13‐26‐0]
