Description
A hexagonal-roofed pagoda with vermillion-and-white walls and blue-green tiled roofs stands beside a still pond, framed by a drooping willow and dark pine trees under a grey sky; snow lingers on the rocks and shrubs at the water's edge. In the foreground two women in kimono (one purple, one patterned in brown and blue) stand close together beneath a pale yellow parasol, their reflections visible in the pond's surface. "Shinobazu Pond," a color woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida, 1928.
