Description
A snow-covered shrine building with a white roof stands beyond a green pond, framed by dark evergreen trees and snow-dusted foliage; a red-roofed veranda and dark doorway are visible along its front. In the foreground, two women in kimono — one in red, one in white with a dark grey overlayer — pause on a snow-topped wooden bridge with a wooden railing, looking out over the water, with footprints visible in the snow on the walkway before them. Woodblock print, "Inokashira Shrine" (東京八景の内 井の頭弁天), by Shiro Kasamatsu.
