Description
Snow falls thickly against a dark blue-black night sky over the tiered, snow-capped roofs of Zojo Temple, its dark wooden eaves and lattice doors accented with muted red-orange trim. In the foreground a single figure in a dark coat walks across the snow-covered ground, holding a large round snow-covered umbrella. Kawase Hasui, 1922, color woodblock print (oban).
