Bell Tower at Mt. Kôya (Kôyasan shôrô), from the series Collected Views of Japan II, Kansai Edition (Nihon fûkei shû II Kansai hen)

A snow-covered temple bell tower stands at the center, its hipped roof and the surrounding trees blanketed in white, with the dark wooden structure and hanging bell visible beneath the eaves. A narrow path, partly cleared to reveal dark ground, cuts through the snow toward the tower, flanked by a stone lantern on the left and a low building on the right; the sky is rendered in muted grey-blue tones suggesting overcast winter light. This woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, titled Bell Tower at Mt. Kôya (Kôyasan shôrô) from the series Collected Views of Japan II, Kansai Edition (Nihon fûkei shû II Kansai hen), depicts the scene devoid of human figures.
