Description
Senzoku Pond in Tokyo's Ota ward is a small lake famous for its ancient lotus beds and the hillside temple that overlooks it. Lingering snow around its shores in this 1951 print leaves patches of white against the dark water and bare branches of the surrounding trees, the zansetsu condition giving the composition a muted, late-winter palette. The pond's modest size and intimate urban setting distinguish it from Hasui's larger lake compositions.
