冨嶽三十六景 礫川雪の旦|Morning after the Snow at Koishikawa in Edo (Koishikawa yuki no ashita), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) is a 1831 ink by Katsushika Hokusai, a Japonisme work, depicting Mountain, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This serene woodblock print depicts a tranquil winter scene. In the foreground, a group of people gather in a small tea house, surrounded by snow-covered trees and a frozen pond. The tea house is adorned with a sloping roof and a large tree branch stretching out from it. The print is rendered in muted colors, with shades of blue and beige dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of peacefulness and contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the serene world of the painting.
