Description
A tranquil pond bordered by a dense stand of dark green conifers and bare-branched trees, with patches of snow lining the near bank and shoreline. The water is a deep blue-black, reflecting the tree line under a pale grey sky, and a single small dark bird floats near the center of the pond. No human figures appear; the mood is quiet and still. Woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, from the series Twelve Scenes of Tokyo, titled "Lingering Snow at Inokashira Park" (Tokyo Junikkei: Inokashira no Zansetsu).
