Description
A snow-blanketed riverside village rendered in black, white, and gray, with a river curving through the foreground where dark birds wade near a small stone bridge. Utility poles and thatched or snow-capped rooftops line the far bank, and small silhouetted figures walk along a path on the left and cross the bridge on the right. A carved artist's seal appears in the lower left corner; the print is by Gihachiro Okuyama, medium woodblock, year unknown.
