Physical Description
The snowy mass of Mount Hira rises behind a snow-covered village and clumps of bamboo by an inlet of Lake Biwa. The attendant poem in the upper left corner reads:
He who would see the beauty of the evening on the peaks of
Hira must behold it after the snows have fallen and before the
flowers are fully blown.
Subject Matter
This print is one of eight that depicted the beauty of Ômi province, centered around Lake Biwa. This particular print shows the dark silhouettes of travelers, perhaps along the Tokaido Road, making their way through the snow.
