Description
A snow-covered shrine complex is shown at night, its vermillion-red gate and buildings dusted white beneath tall, snow-laden fir trees. In the foreground, a single figure in dark robes walks along a stone path carrying an open umbrella against the falling snow. The scene is rendered in a muted palette of deep blues and blacks against the white snow and red architecture, evoking a quiet, cold stillness. "Shato no Yuki Hie Jinja," a woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
