The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print showing a scene of a snow-covered bridge at night. The composition is vertically oriented, which is common in Japanese prints. In the background, the night sky is dark with numerous white specks representing falling snow. A somewhat brighter, warm hue near the top center suggests either the moon or a light source obscured by the clouds. Below the sky, the scenery is split by the bridge—a horizontal strip with a gradient from dark to light, indicating it's covered in snow. On the bridge and below it, there's a flurry of activity. People, identified by their traditional clothing and rounded forms, are crossing the bridge; their movements appear hurried as they traverse the snowy expanse. Their features are not individually detailed, but their postures suggest they are bracing against the cold. The bridge's architecture includes railings and supports, and it spans over water where there are ripples, hinting at the presence of a river or a stream below. Specks of snow dot the entire scene, with some accumulation on the figures, the bridge, and along the banks of the waterbody, adding a sense of depth and texture to the image. The overall atmosphere conveyed by the print is one of winter's quietude interrupted by the motion of people going about their evening amidst falling snow—an example of the ukiyo-e style celebrating both the beauty of nature and the everyday life of people.
