HIKONE-NO-YUKI (Snow at Hikone)

A narrow street in a traditional Japanese town recedes toward a gabled building bearing the shop sign "かどや" (Kadoya), flanked by rows of tile-roofed wooden houses under falling snow rendered as scattered white flecks against a slate-grey sky. The composition is built from muted tones of blue-grey roof tiles, tan-brown timber facades, and beige-grey snow-covered pavement, with a single potted plant adding a touch of green at lower right; the empty street and steady snowfall create a hushed, wintry stillness. Katsuyuki Nishijima's woodblock print *Hikone-no-Yuki (Snow at Hikone)* is numbered 73/500 in the lower left margin.
