Description

As the title suggests, this is a scene of a beautiful snowy morning. Everything is blanketed in snow, and people in the tea house have opened all the sliding doors to enjoy the view.

It must be a very cold morning, yet people still enjoy this scene. Following the direction of the woman's pointing finger, we can see birds soaring high in the sky. I can almost hear her say, "Look at the birds over there!" I imagine that a part of her voice will be absorbed by the snow.

This is the only snow scene in the "36 views of Mt. Fuji."
