名所江戸百景 浅草 金龍山|The Kinryusan Temple at Asakusa is a 1856 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a snowy scene with a large black lantern hanging in the air. The lantern has a white design and a red banner with Japanese writing. Below it, people in winter clothes walk through the snow, some carrying umbrellas. There are trees and buildings in the background, including a tall pagoda. The scene is set in front of a temple, with a large gate and a building with a tiled roof. The sky is blue and the snow is falling gently. The overall mood is peaceful and serene.
