content: The bird's eye view of Yushima Tenjin Shrine is looking out over the Shinobazu Pond. The snow-covered scene is highlighted with bright red buildings on either side, as well as a few other temples off in the distance. A bright purple figure stands in the middle of the foreground, holding a closed parasol by her waist. Other figures are ascending the staircases around her as they all head towards the main sanctuary of the shrine.
