The image shows a statue of a lion standing in front of a traditional Japanese temple. The statue is made of stone and is intricately carved with detailed features. The lion is standing on its hind legs with its front paws resting on the ground. It has a fierce expression on its face and its mouth is open, as if it is roaring. The temple has a red roof with intricate carvings and gold accents. In the background, there is a rocky cliff and trees. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is peaceful and serene.
