Description
Snow falls over a dark blue pond edged by a stepping-stone path, its flat rocks blanketed in white and leading toward a snow-laden guest house at right with lantern-lit windows glowing red-orange within its dark wooden frame. Heavy snow weighs down the trees, bushes, and a low fence in the background, rendered in soft grey-white against the deep indigo water and a shadowed blue-grey sky flecked with falling snow. Kawase Hasui, "Snow at a Guest House on Pond's Edge (Chihan kyakushitshu no yuki)," 1920, color woodblock print.
