An overcast winter's day in the Japanese Alps. Tall, leafless trees stand at the edge of Taisho Pond, their trunks plastered with snow; the bases of some trees are submerged beneath the water. Beyond, the shadows of more trees and the jagged Hida Mountains present a dramatic horizon. A layer of snow covers the ground, and more snow falls in waves driven across the pond by the wind.

Title: Taisho Pond, Kamikochi (1927)
