Description: This reproduction of a Hokusai design by the Takamizawa company shows a  beautiful woman walking through the snow. She is clad in warm layers of clothing and tall snow geta. The dark blue robe is given a 3D effect with the use of careful shading. 

A type of white chalk pigment is applied to create the look of fine snowflakes starting to fall. The very fine flecks of snow accompanied with the umbrella still by her side gives the feeling of fresh snow that has only just started to fall.

There is a small chiri (mulberry bark scraps) at the bottom of this print. Also, there is a trace of glue removal on the backside.
