Description
A snow-covered riverside village at dusk, with dark wooden buildings and a large evergreen tree heavy with snow along the water's edge; two small boats are moored at the near bank, and hazy blue-grey hills rise across the water under a pale sky. The palette is dominated by muted indigo-blues and greys with white snow cover, giving the scene a quiet, cold stillness. No human figures are visible. Woodblock print, "Snow Falling at Ishinomaki," Kawase Hasui, year unknown.
