Description
A vermillion torii gate stands at the center of a snow-covered shrine path, flanked by stone lanterns and framed by pine trees heavy with snow beneath a deep blue, snow-flecked sky. A single figure in a blue coat walks away from the viewer along the path, holding a blue umbrella, with footprints trailing behind in the snow. Japanese text and a red seal appear in the upper left corner; woodblock print by Ishiwata Koitsu.
