About the piece

Created by the renowned artist Sakai Hōitsu in the late 18th century, this work exemplifies the refined aesthetic of the Rinpa school. A woman in a sophisticated kimono stands against a minimalist gold-toned background, her posture and the gentle descent of snow evoking a sense of tranquil winter beauty.
