Description
A river channel flanked by wooden houses on stilts recedes toward distant snow-capped mountains under a dark blue-gray sky, with a single figure crossing a small bridge over the water. Snow lines the rooftops, eaves, and riverbanks in white against the buildings' brown and black tones, while the water reflects pale gray-blue light. Woodblock print by Kanpo Yoshikawa, "Fair Weather After Snow at Yamato Bridge, Kyoto (Yamato bashi no yukibare)," Taishô period, dated 1924.
