As explained by Narazaki, "The subject of this snowscape is the famous gate (Torii) of the Itukushima Shrine, and it contrasts with a row of traditional inns and the mountains on the opposite bank that are blurred in the snow. The sea is calm and shallow; the waves are broken by the oars of the rowboat. The gate's vermilion reflection plays on the surface of the ripples, and the gate's color effectively imbues the image with a warmness".

Miyajima is located in Hiroshima Prefecture.
