Description
A snow-covered coastal landscape shows a curved bay of deep blue water bordered by rounded, terraced hills and cliffs blanketed in white snow, with a dark evergreen tree in the foreground at lower right. A road or path traces the shoreline on the right side of the composition, and the far shore recedes into pale gray-blue mountains under an overcast sky. No figures are present; the palette is limited to indigo blue, white, and muted gray-green. "Nishimikawazaka on Sado Island," woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
