Gion Shrine in Snow

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snow falls in the scene. A blue torii gate stands in the center. Two people walk on a path, one holds an umbrella. A blue fence runs along the right and back. Bare trees are on the left and right. The people wear traditional Japanese clothing. A red seal is in the bottom-left corner. Japanese characters are in the top-left corner and on the right edge. The image has a beige border.
