This woodblock print was created by Japanese artist Gengo Saito (斎藤権吾) around the 1990s. Specializing in seasonal landscapes of rural Japan, Saito uses the distinct texture of woodblock printing combined with a minimalist yet delicate style to convey the quiet charm of rural life.

The composition is dominated by white (snow) as the main tone, paired with a pale blue sky and dark indigo trees, creating a serene winter atmosphere. In the lower right corner, a figure dressed in pale purple clothing—carrying a red bag—walks through deep snow; the small scale of the figure contrasts with the vast snowscape, emphasizing the emptiness and solitude of winter. Centered on natural scenery, the work focuses on minimalist expression of mood and color, embodying the wabi-sabi (侘寂) and yūgen (幽玄) aesthetics of Japanese art. The artist’s signature and seal are positioned at the lower left corner of the piece.

With the passage of time, the paper shows slight signs of oxidation and yellowing; the overall condition is good.
