Description
A snow-covered wooden building with a dark red roof sits on a small point of land jutting into a still blue-green lake, its shoreline lined with bare, frost-whitened trees. A single small figure in white walks along a path on the far right, near a low wooden railing or bridge, under a grey overcast sky with falling snow. Woodblock print, "Lake Tazawa" by Kawase Hasui.
