Description
A young woman with elaborately pinned black hair and a floral hairpin bows her head against falling snow, sheltering under a large red-brown paper umbrella whose ribs fan out above her. She clutches a red garment closed at her throat over a pale blue kimono patterned with a diagonal lattice of white and red lines, with tall grasses rendered in grey silhouette behind her. White snowflakes dot her hair, robe, and the surrounding air against the muted grey background. *Fubuki (Snowstorm)*, woodblock print by Ito Shinsui, 1932.
