A bird's eye view of a wintry landscape in heavy snow fall, in a variety of blue and gray tones, with tiny highlight of lit windows and their warm gold glow and a single person walking through the snow.
Good bleed-through. Good condition without tears or rips. Top left corner torn, although not affecting the image. Please look closely at the pictures and feel free to email any questions.
Signature Hasui, Seal Kawase (most likely pre-earthquake)
