Snow on the Sumida River by Utagawa Hiroshige: A man in a brown haori and head covering holds an umbrella over his head while crossing a wooden bridge extending from the lower-left corner. The bridge has vertical slats on either side. The man walks toward the lower-right corner. The water below the bridge is dark blue with white flecks. Snow falls from a gray sky with white flecks. A tree with blossoming white flowers grows on the riverbank. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left and right sides. The background fades from dark gray at the top to light brown.
