A traditional Japanese woodblock print. A snowy landscape with mountains in the background. A bare tree with a few blue leaves on the right. Three men in blue and brown samurai clothing are gathered on the left around a fire with long streaks of smoke and flame rising. A man to the right stands with a weapon. A color palette at the bottom. A beige rectangle with Japanese writing on the top right. A small red stamp on the bottom left. The background fades from blue at the top to beige at the bottom.
