Comments - Charming shin hanga design of three women dancing in the snow. They gracefully wave their arms in the air as each hops lightly on one foot, leaving footprints on the snow-covered ground. The soft grayish background makes beautiful use of the wood grain and swirling baren marks to add a sense of texture. A handsome design published by Watanabe in the mid-20th century with 6mm seal in lower right. Would make an attractive framed display.
