Description

A snow-covered guest house with latticed windows and a red-brown facade stands at right on rock piers above a deep blue pond, its tiled roof and the surrounding pines and stepping stones blanketed in white as snow continues to fall against a dark graduated sky. A curved wooden railing and bridge edge the pond at left, with no figures present. Kawase Hasui, 1920, color woodblock print, oban.
