Description

This image was done quite late in Tanaka-san’s career and is somewhat unique. Yes, there is a traditional thatch-roofed house. And he depicted snow in a somewhat similar fashion in a few other prints. But I find the combination of both large and small snowflakes very effective. I also like that she is wearing modern clothing and carries a more traditional paper umbrella as she hurries along. Note also the addition of blue ink in the sky.
