Description
A snow-covered pine-topped islet with a small thatched-roof pavilion sits in calm blue-grey water, with additional pine-covered islands fading into mist along the horizon. The composition is rendered in muted blues and whites with soft gradation in the sky, evoking a quiet, cold stillness. No human figures appear in the scene. Title: *Matsushima*, by Kawase Hasui, woodblock print.
