Kinkakuji seen in Falling Snow

Hasegawa Sadanobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snow-covered building with a pagoda-style roof on the right side, surrounded by trees and water on the left. A mountain is in the background under a starry night sky. The building has a balcony and appears to be situated on a small island or peninsula. The water is dark blue with white specks indicating snowfall. Trees and bushes are scattered around the building and in the water. A vertical red banner with Japanese characters is on the top right. The sky transitions from dark blue at the top to light blue near the horizon.
