Description
A snow-covered temple building with vermillion-red walls and a white snow-laden roof stands beneath a deep blue-black night sky filled with falling snow. In the foreground courtyard, a figure holds an open yellow umbrella and walks with a small black dog along a dark stone path, while another figure in yellow stands near the temple entrance; snow-laden pine trees flank the building on the right. *Snow at Zojoji Temple (Yuki no Zojoji)*, Kawase Hasui, 1929, color woodblock print, ōban.
