Description: This graceful print by Suzuki Harunobu was designed in 1768, during the Edo period. It represents a scene from everyday life, where natural beauty is combined with the suggestion of human presence, as it also shows a boat. While the boat and landscape are covered in snow, the elegant herons represent both fragility and resilience against the harsh winter weather.

This version is a post-war reproduction by Adachi Company.
