Description
A snow-covered riverbank scene in muted blue-grey and white tones, with a moored wooden boat in the foreground on the near shore and a stretch of calm water leading to a low, snow-dusted embankment lined with dark pine trees. Snowflakes fall throughout the scene, and a small structure with a thatched or peaked roof sits among the trees in the middle distance; no human figures are visible. Woodblock print titled "Snow in Koshigoya" by Kawase Hasui.
