Evening Snow at Mount Hira, from the series Eight Views of Ōmi (Ōmi ha

A woodblock landscape showing snow-dusted, pine-covered hills descending to a blue lake, with a tall peak rising behind under a pale evening sky. Small boats drift near the shore, and columns of calligraphic poetry and a red seal sit at upper left.

Look closer: A small red seal sits beside the calligraphy at upper left, and a round seal appears at the lower right corner.
