Description
A five-story pagoda rises against a dark night sky beside a full moon, its tiered roofs silhouetted in deep green and black. Snow blankets the ground and dusts the surrounding trees, with a small lantern glowing faintly at the pagoda's base. Kawase Hasui's woodblock print "Asakusa Kinryuzan" renders the scene in a hushed, muted palette of indigo, green, and white.
