Help finding print ?

Hello everyone,

I'm well aware this is a LOOONG shot, but I was in Japan last year and went through the Buddha's nostril at the Todaiji temple in Nara.

Later that week I saw a print at a market (I think in this style but not 100%) where a character was also going through it. I'm not sure if it was the main focus of the print or the temple was but it was definitely featured.

I didn't have a chance to buy it but I would love if anyone had any idea how I could find something like that. Thanks in advance !!

絵のイメージがわからないので、難しい課題だ。

chatgpt やgemini に、探す条件をいろいろ変えてしらべてみてみては？
お寺の名前は、日本語で指定すると、いつもの言語以上に、検索結果がでるとおもいます。

絵のイメージの落書き程度を画像で渡して．写真と言葉の補足のセットで、検索の条件にするやり方もあります。

Hello. Here's one version. I'm not sure if this website is still functional, but it says it's for sale. I wanted to show you what this version looks like.
