The Temple Sensōji in Snow 1881

"The Temple Sensōji in Snow" is a woodblock print by Kobayashi Kiyochika, a prominent Japanese artist of the late 19th century. Created in 1881, the artwork depicts the iconic Sensōji temple in Tokyo blanketed in snow, with a striking contrast between the white snow and the vibrant red of the bridge and temple roof. Kiyochika's attention to detail is evident in the delicate depiction of the bare branches of trees and the soft falling snow, highlighting the serene beauty of the winter landscape. The print offers a glimpse into the winter scenery of Edo-period Japan, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation.
