A Snowy Evening at Kanbara Station

A snow-covered village street at dusk, with low tiled-roof houses lining the left and a two-story building on the right. Two travelers, one in a conical sedge hat, trudge through deep snow toward the viewer while falling flakes fill the dark sky above distant mountains.

Look closer: A small red seal near the lower left edge and a signature beside it.
