Description
A vermilion torii gate stands in blue water beneath falling snow, its beams and crossbeams capped with white and topped by a small dark plaque; a snow-laden pine branch frames the upper right, its green needles heavy with snow against pale blue mountains on the horizon. The gate and branch reflect in the still water below, and scattered white snowflakes dot the sky and water throughout the scene. Kawase Hasui, "Miyajima in Snow (Yuki no Miyajima)," 1929, color woodblock print (oban).
