Description
"Ushibori" (1930), a color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, renders a snow-covered riverside village at dusk in an overall deep blue palette. A solitary figure poles a small boat across the water in the foreground, while snow-laden thatched roofs, bare trees, and a lit window line the far bank beneath a sky filled with falling snow. One building's window glows pale yellow, its reflection breaking the blue water's surface near the shoreline.
