A vertical woodblock print depicts a snowy landscape with a jagged mountain towering against a gray, snow-flecked sky. On the upper left, a blue waterfall spills into a winding river where two brown boats float. A figure crosses a bridge in the middle ground, arcing between cliffs lined with spindly, snow-laden pines. Red and black calligraphy mark the upper left and bottom right corners of the composition.
