Description
A heavy mound of snow blankets the deep, overhanging eaves of a wooden building, rendered in bold black beams against a slate-blue sky. Below, the veranda's grid-paned windows and a red-latticed screen are cut diagonally by pale bands of light, with a green-and-yellow striped fence enclosing the shadowed foreground snow. Pencil-numbered 99/100 at lower left and signed "Karhu 82" at lower right, this mokuhanga print by Clifton Karhu is titled Snow - Katsura.
