Description
A vermillion-red, multi-tiered pagoda with white snow-laden roofs rises behind a snow-covered gate and dark stone lanterns, set against a slate-blue sky filled with falling snow. In the foreground a single figure in a dark blue robe walks along a snow-covered path carrying an open orange umbrella, passing a low fence and a stone lantern. Kawase Hasui, "Tōshōgū in Ueno," 1930, woodblock print, ink and color on paper.
