Two pages from a book opened side-by-side. The left page shows a man on a horse, wearing a blue outfit and a conical hat, riding in the snow towards the right, with a bare tree behind him. A river curves from the bottom-left. There is a snow-capped mountain in the background. The right page shows a rainy scene with a mountain in the background and a body of water with diagonal rain falling. Both pages have Japanese text and are bordered by a thin black line. The pages are yellowed.
