Description
A snow-laden pine tree arches across the upper left foreground, its branches heavy with white, framing a view across a still lake toward Mount Fuji under a clear blue sky. The mountain's lower slopes are white with snow while its upper face shows bare reddish-brown rock, and the peak and pine are echoed in soft reflection on the water below. Woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, titled "Clearing after snowfall on Mount Fuji."
