Evening Snow at Uchikawa

Two travelers in conical hats and cloaks trudge through deep snow in the foreground, one carrying a bundle. Thatched-roof houses sit beside a blue bay, with snow-laden trees on the right and mountains beyond under a pale sky.

Look closer: A tiny boat sails on the blue bay near the shore.
