Description
A snow-covered village at dusk, with thatched-roof farmhouses and a leafless tree set behind a low hedge and stone wall bordering a snow-blanketed field. The sky transitions from pale yellow near the horizon to deep indigo-blue above, suggesting fading twilight, while patches of bare brown earth show through the thinning snow in the foreground path. Woodblock print, "Clearing after a snowfall at Sekiyado," by Kawase Hasui.
