Description
Snow-covered thatched-roof houses cluster beneath bare, frost-white trees in the foreground, with a single dark-clad figure walking along a path at right. Mount Fuji rises across the middle distance under a clear blue-green gradient sky, its slopes patterned with rock outcrops showing through the snow. Kawase Hasui's 1952 color woodblock print renders the scene in cool blues, whites, and violets, with a red seal in the lower left corner.
