Concise Illustrated Biography of Monk Nichiren: Prayer for Rain Answered at Ryōzengasaki in Kamakura
Colorful Japanese woodblock print. A man in a red robe sits on a rocky cliffside. He holds a red parasol over his head with one hand, and a scroll in the other. He sits cross-legged on a brown and tan cliff. Two men dressed in blue stand behind him. A large wave crashes against the cliff. The wave is dark blue at the base with white foam on top. A small boat sails on the water to the left. The background depicts a gray sky with rain falling vertically. Mountains in the distance sit on the left. Foreign writing appears on the right side.
