Description
Inokashira Pond in winter snow — the large park pond in western Tokyo dusted with white, the zelkova trees along the shore bare and snow-limned — appears in this 1928 print as one of Hasui's closest-to-home snow subjects. The pond and its surroundings were a few kilometers from his studio in the Setagaya area, and the familiar landscape appears in several of his compositions across seasons. Snow at Inokashira gave the park's otherwise gentle scenery a degree of graphic severity.
