Toriimoto in Winter

A red torii gate stands at the center of a snow-dusted approach leading toward a shrine, flanked by low wooden buildings with heavy gray tiled roofs and a snow-laden pine tree in the right foreground. A red bench, red lantern, and stone lantern add small accents of color against the muted grays, browns, and whites of the snowfall, with green trees and a pale blue sky visible above the rooflines. The pathway is empty of figures, its beige-toned ground rendered with a stippled texture suggesting falling snow; Ido Masao's mokuhanga print "Toriimoto in Winter" is signed in pencil below the image.
