Description
A snow-covered wooden shrine building with a dark timber façade stands at the water's edge beneath bare, frost-laden trees, connected to the foreground by a plain wooden bridge over a still lake. Snow falls steadily against a deep blue-gray sky, coating the branches and ground in white, while a single small figure walks along the distant shore. The palette is dominated by indigo, white, and dark brown, giving the scene a hushed, wintry stillness; woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, from the series *Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series*, depicting Kansanomiya Shrine at Lake Tazawa.
