A horizontally oriented color woodblock print depicts a winter landscape with two figures walking away through a snowy foreground, leaving small footprints. To the right, a tall, bare tree and thatched houses are covered in snow. Beyond them, a vibrant blue waterway flows toward distant, snow-capped mountains under a dark gray sky. One figure wears a straw cape and carries a yoke with baskets, their clothes colored in pale blue and peach.
