A winter evening in Tokyo, overlooking the Edo River. In the foreground, the trunk and wiry branches of a leafless tree are rimed with snow and frost; beyond, two women carrying bamboo umbrellas cross a gently curving wooden bridge. Below the pedestrians, the river is still and cold-looking. On the far side of the water, warm lights shine in the windows of closely-packed houses. The sky above is grey and overcast, and snow continues to fall across the scene.

Title: Evening Snow, Edo River (1932)

Artist: Hasui Kawase
