Description
A snowy riverside view, looking down over dark wooden warehouse buildings with white snow-dusted roofs beside a teal-blue canal. A single moored boat sits in the water at lower left, with a bare, snow-flecked tree branch overhanging the scene in the foreground. The palette is dominated by muted grays, blacks, and blue-greens, evoking a quiet, cold winter atmosphere; this print is part of Kawase Hasui's series *Twenty Views of Tokyo*, depicting Ochanomizu.
