The Gion Shrine in Snow, from the series Famous Views of Kyoto (Kyōto meisho no uchi)
The image depicts a snowy scene with a large blue torii gate in the center. The gate has a rectangular sign on it and is covered in snow. Two people are walking on a snowy path in front of the gate, one on the left wearing a pink skirt and blue top, and the other on the right wearing a blue and orange outfit and holding a parasol. Both people are walking away from the viewer. There are trees on either side of the path, and a blue fence runs along the right side. In the background, there are buildings and more trees, and snow is falling from the sky. The sky is dark at the top and lightens towards the horizon. There is a red seal in the bottom-left corner.
