Poem by Minamoto no Muneyuki from the series One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets Explained by the Nurse

Katsushika Hokusai

Cleveland Museum of Art

Woodblock print; oban. Depicts a snowy mountain scene with a large tree on the right side. The tree has a thick trunk and several branches, some of which are bare, while others have blue leaves or needles. The tree's bark is white with brown spots. Snow covers the ground and lower parts of the tree. Four men in blue and brown clothing, with white faces and dark hair, are on the left side. One man stands with a bow and arrow; another sits on the ground; a third stands with his hands raised; and a fourth sits leaning on his knees. Smoke or steam rises from behind the men, with shades of pink, gray and white. In the background, there are dark mountains under a gray and blue sky. A beige rectangle with Japanese writing is in the top-right corner. Red stamps are in the bottom-left corner.
