On the right, dark tiled roofs rise above pale plaster, while pine branches reach across the moat and partly veil a distant turret. Kawase Hasui gives as much space to the shifting reflections as to the architecture, letting the water set the pace of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA gate on the grounds of the former Edo Castle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKikyō Gate stands on the grounds of the former Edo Castle, now part of Tokyo’s Imperial Palace. Hasui places the viewer low beside the moat, where the sloping stonework leads the eye toward the trees and the buildings beyond. The close view brings out the irregular shapes of the stones, the curve of the roof tiles and the ripples breaking up their reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the Twenty Views of Tokyo series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1929 by Watanabe Shōzaburō, \u003cem\u003eKikyō Gate\u003c\/em\u003e belongs to Hasui’s \u003cem\u003eTwenty Views of Tokyo\u003c\/em\u003e series (\u003cem\u003eTōkyō nijūkei\u003c\/em\u003e).
