This image is a print depicting a winter scene. A snow-covered landscape dominates the view with large, heavy drifts of snow clinging to the roofs of buildings and piling up on the ground. A traditional Japanese house is featured prominently with a characteristic roof, and a large family crest or emblem can be seen on the upper part of the wall. In the foreground, on the lower left, there is a lone figure, possibly wearing a cloak or kimono, walking in the snow toward the right side of the frame. A wooden fence runs along the right side, partially obscured by the snow. The trees and vegetation appear to be laden with snow as well. The color palette is limited, using shades of black, white, and grey with small contrasts provided by the figure's garment and a red element, which could be a torii gate or another part of the structure to the right side. The bottom of the image features text: "WINTER IN AIZU (12) 1962" and what appears to be a signature, indicating that this is likely a print from a series about winter in the Aizu region, completed in 1962. Additionally, there seems to be a red seal or stamp in the bottom right corner, which is often used by artists to mark their works. The print has a strong graphic quality with the use of negative space and contrasting dark and light elements to create a stark and serene winter atmosphere.
