This is a traditional Japanese woodblock print depicting a winter scene. At the top of the image, a dark blue sky transitions to a lighter shade of blue, with snowflakes falling throughout the scene. A large pine tree with snow-covered branches stretches across the upper left portion of the print, emphasizing the vertical format. In the middle ground, we see a lone traveler dressed in a straw raincoat and hat, possibly a mino and sedge hat, indicating that it's a snowy, cold environment. The traveler is looking upwards, holding a walking stick and carrying a bundle on their back, suggesting a journey or pilgrimage. A brown horse with elaborate tack, suggesting a status of some significance, stands beside the traveler. The horse's legs are protected against the snow and cold with leg coverings, and its tail is bound to prevent it from getting wet. The figure and the horse appear to be pausing on their journey, possibly to rest or take in the surrounding scenery. In the foreground and throughout the scene, there are details of snow-covered ground, rocks, and clusters of smaller plants or bushes, all rendered with careful attention to detail and perspective. In the bottom-left corner of the image, there is a red seal or stamp, which is characteristic of traditional Japanese prints and usually contains the mark of the artist or the print publisher. In the lower-right corner of the image, there's Japanese text, likely the signature of the artist and possibly the title of the piece or series.
