Description
A vermillion torii gate stands in shallow water beneath falling snow, its crossbeams and base dusted white, with a stone lantern at the shoreline on the right and snow-laden pine boughs framing the scene at left. Misty mountains rise across the water in muted blue-grey, with two small boats visible on the water's surface, all rendered in a cool palette of indigo, white, and grey against the single red-orange accent of the gate. Woodblock print titled "Miyajima in the Snow" by Tsuchiya Koitsu.
