Description

A snow-covered landscape at dusk, rendered in blue-grey tones with white snowflakes falling against a dark sky. Bare trees with pale trunks frame a blue river or stream crossed by a wooden fence-lined path, along which three small figures walk carrying round yellow umbrellas; a cluster of thatched-roof buildings and distant snow-capped hills (with Mt. Fuji faintly visible) sit in the middle distance. A red title cartouche with vertical Japanese text appears in the upper right; this woodblock print in ink and color on paper was made in 1911 by Andō Hiroshige IV.
