Description
A vermillion shrine building with a snow-capped hip roof sits on a small point of land, framed by dark green pine trees and bare, snow-dusted trees against a grey sky filled with falling snow. Below, a still blue pond mirrors the shrine and trees, its near bank lined with golden dried reeds and grasses poking through the snow. Kawase Hasui, "The Inokashira Benten Shrine in Snow (Shato no yuki)," 1929, color woodblock print, oban.
