Description
A lantern shape frames a snow scene of an arched wooden bridge crossing a river, its beams reflected in the water below; bare, drooping willow branches hang across the foreground. A single red-orange lantern glows above the bridge against the grey snowy sky, with the lantern's dark cap and mount visible at top and bottom of the composition. Woodblock print by Kawase Hasui; year unknown.
