Description
A solitary figure poles a small boat across dark green water at night, snow falling in white flecks against a near-black sky. Behind him a snow-laden pine tree spreads its boughs over a wooden building with a snow-covered roof, its lights reflected in a pale streak on the water's surface. Kawase Hasui, "Snow at Funabori (Funabori no Yuki)," 1932, color woodblock print.
