Snow-covered scene with mountains in the background. A road traverses through the snow with a person in a blue kimono holding a parasol on the left and two people, one with a fur-lined cloak, on the right. There are snow-covered buildings on either side of the road. Trees and bushes are also covered in snow. Snow is falling from the gray sky. Japanese characters are written at the top center. A red seal or stamp is on the bottom left.
