A winter scene looking down into a small residential street in Japan. Traditional thatched roof houses on either side of the little road are covered in snow. On our right, two figures in straw capes and broad hats pause near another figure who appears to be clearing snow from the road in front of a house; on our left, two other pedestrians carry umbrellas as protection against the weather. Beyond the houses, snow covers low, sporadically forested hills as they roll past. The sky above is icy blue, and snow continues to fall across the scene

Title: Hodagaya in Snow (1924)

Artist: Oda Hironobu

View of the Shiobara onsen or hot spring, with visitors relaxing in rooms with balconies overlooking the spring below, where a woman washes her hair. Other guests sit beneath the sheltered edge of a pool on the lower floor of the multistory building. A terrific depiction of a traditional Japanese onsen, attractively colored with a soft, painterly quality.
