The grey sky, the light of the scene, the meticulous fall of the snow. You don't need to feel the wind to see the movement.

"The Pond at Benten Shrine in Shiba," Hasui Kawase, 1929.

I like Kawase. This is from earlier in his career, when he didn't have to gloss over the damage caused by WWII. The image is deceptively simple; two women surrounded by lotus plants. But this is a woodblock print...image carving all of that! Kawase was amazing.

From the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA.
