Description
A snow-covered temple complex under a pale grey sky, with a five-story pagoda rising at left behind snow-laden rooftops. In the foreground, two figures in dark kimono cross a covered wooden walkway with a low railing, its roof and beams thickly blanketed in white; snowflakes fall visibly against the muted blue-grey tones of the scene. "Spring Snow," a woodblock print by Kawase Hasui.
