Description
A two-story wooden pavilion with a curved, snow-covered roof stands among snow-laden pine and other trees under a dusky grey-blue sky filled with falling snow. In the foreground, two small figures — one holding a blue umbrella — walk beside a still pond bordered by snow-topped rocks, its dark green-blue water reflecting the scene. Kawase Hasui, "Snow at the Silver Pavilion (Ginkakuji no yuki)," 1933, color woodblock print.
