About this work

This print shows a snowy night scene with a quiet canal and small houses under a starry sky. Two people walk on a bridge, one holding a bright pink parasol. The water is dark and still, while the buildings have simple roofs dusted with snow. The artist used bold colors—like the pink parasol—to stand out against the cool blues and whites. The snow on the rooftops looks soft, and the stars above add a dreamy feel. Look up Hasegawa Sadanobu to see how he played with light and color in other prints.
