Alpine snowscape

A steep-gabled, gasshō-zukuri-style thatched farmhouse with a heavy snow-laden roof and lit windows sits before a dense band of snow-covered pine trees, with layered snowy mountain ridges receding behind under a pale lavender-to-yellow twilight sky. Bare shrubs and smooth drifts of snow fill the foreground, and no human figures are present. The palette is muted throughout — soft violets, grays, and creams — with only the black timber of the house and a small red seal at lower right breaking the cool tonal range. This mokuhanga woodblock print, titled *Alpine snowscape* by Miyamoto Shufu, is undated.
