A photo of the famous lantern at Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo. The lantern is red, with black (outlined in white) vertical kanji reading 雷門. The photo is dark (taken at night), with the lantern centered. The gate fades into the background due to the lighting. On the lower left, there is a Starbucks sign, and on the right, there is a vertical sign that reads Kobe Beef. The signs stand out due to the white lights used for the lettering. In the foreground, there are people, but they appear as shadows more than people because it's dark.
