Subject:Reading of Print Title
Posted By: Irwin Sat, Apr 13, 2024 IP: 174.127.209.134

I would appreciate help in reading the name of the temple on this print by the Japanese artist Sakamoto Isamu picturing a thatched roof "sanmon" at an unread temple. The last three characters of the title read "寺山門" but I cannot read the first two.

With many thanks. Another learning experience for me as I see the character 門 can be scripted in several ways, even when using it in the same sentence/title.
