Description
A vermillion torii gate stands in shallow water beneath pale blue-grey mountains, its reflection rippling on the water's surface. In the foreground, snow blankets the branches of a pine tree extending in from the left edge. The palette is cool and muted — soft blues and greys against the torii's orange-red — under an overcast sky. "Lingering Snow at Miyajima," a woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
