Description
A snow-covered temple complex at night, with a multi-tiered pagoda rising at left beside dark wooden temple roofs blanketed in white; a wooden veranda supported on stilts extends across the foreground, its railings and beams dusted with snow. Falling snow dots a deep indigo-to-blue gradient sky, and a single figure in a blue kimono with a red-orange umbrella stands on the veranda, the only touch of color in the scene. Kawase Hasui, "Spring Snow at Kiyomizu Temple, Kyoto" (Haru no yuki [Kyoto Kiyomizu]), 1932, color woodblock print, ōban.
