Description
Snow-laden pine branches arch over a still, dark pond in this twilight scene, their trunks and needles heavily whitened while a slender bare tree stands beside them at the water's edge. The composition is dominated by deep blue-grays and blacks, with a distant red torii or shrine gate glimpsed faintly through the trees on the far shore, and patches of undisturbed snow cover the ground in the foreground. No figures are present; the print is Kawase Hasui's "Senzoku Pond in the Snow," a woodblock print.
