Description
A snow-covered pavilion with a gilded phoenix finial atop its roof is seen through a dense screen of pine branches laden with snow, set beside a body of water flecked with falling snowflakes. The palette is dominated by cold blues and whites, with the dark timber structure and touches of gold on the roof ornament providing the only warm accents. This woodblock print by Okumura Koichi, titled "Show at Kinkakuji Temple — 金閣寺の雪," depicts the Kinkaku-ji pavilion in winter snowfall.
