Evening Snow at Asakusa - Fantastic triptych of three beauties walking through the snow the Sumida River. Each carries an umbrella under the gently falling snow. The beauty at right wears a short coat over her kimono, while the other two have scarves wrapped around their heads against the color winter air. Their tall wooden geta sandals leave distinctive marks in the snow, and a small dog licks its front paw at far left. A large wooden bridge arches across the river behind them, the spire of Asakusa Temple visible on the opposite shore. A wonderful Hiroshige beauty subject and a classic winter landscape with fine shading in the water and sky.
