"Spring Snow" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Hasui Kawase, created in 1932. This evocative print captures the serene beauty of a snowy landscape in Japan, with a traditional pagoda in the distance and figures walking under a snowy sky. The delicate snowflakes falling against the backdrop of a star-filled night creates a sense of quiet contemplation, a hallmark of Hasui's distinctive style. This artwork is a fine example of shin-hanga, a movement that revitalized woodblock printmaking in the 20th century, showcasing the beauty of traditional Japanese landscapes.

Not a single nail was used in the construction of the 13 meter high stage of Kiyomizu Temple that was assembled in the batten structure (kakezukuri), known since about the 13th century.
