A painting depicting a fountain constructed in 1903 in Asakusa Park, which is located behind the main hall of Senso-ji temple. The main hall of Senso-ji temple can be seen on the left side of the work. Around the fountain are stone structures mounted with pots (likely made out of stone) that hold plants. Although the fountain in this painting no longer exists, the statue of the Dragon King used as the water spout was moved and is currently placed at the chōzuya (the place where worshippers will ritually clean their hands before entering a shrine or temple) in front of the main hall of Sensō-ji temple.
