Comments - Beautiful winter view of the torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine at Miyajima. A boatman rows two passengers past the structure, which seems to float above the water. A snow covered pine and stone lanterns frame the view as snow gently falls over the calm water. A lovely, serene image, beautifully colored and softly shaded. A real masterwork by Koitsu that would make a wonderful framed display.
