Snow, 1847 - 1852 - Terrific illustration from the famous "Tale of Genji" showing the young prince warming himself at a ceramic brazier. A beauty stands near the open verandah, gesturing as a young woman arrives carrying a snow rabbit on a plate with leaves for ears. Outside in the courtyard beauties frolic in the snow, having a snowball fight. A charming subject with beautiful detail in the handsome interior setting. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this image in its collection. A classic Edo era scene.
