- Physical Description
- In this print, sophisticated use of soft lines, rounded forms, dark sky, and subtle tones convey the utter silence and weariness of the figures as they trudge through the night-time snow near Kambara. Writing is centered at the top of the image, as well as aloong the bottom left wide with a seal. Three figures walk through the snow.
- Subject Matter
- The scene conveys a sense of silence, and weariness. The mountain village at nightfall is slowly buried by a steady snow fall, and three people trudge through the snow, leaving footprints, one with his head covered by a half open umbrella, burdened by the weight of the cold and snow.
