Otani Tomoemon (?) as a Peddler Trudging Through the Snow
The image depicts a man in traditional Japanese clothing, specifically a kimono and sandals, trudging through snow. The man has dark hair pulled back into a topknot and wears a brown kimono with orange accents. He carries a large rectangular object on his back, wrapped in a fur or cloth cover, secured by straps or cords. In his right hand, he holds a long-handled tool or basket with a rounded bottom. The background features a gray sky and a snowy ground. The entire image has a beige or off-white border around it. The man appears to be walking to the right, looking in the same direction.
