Note du spécialiste

The Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa, also known as Sensoji, is one of the most famous sites of Edo and Hiroshige depicted this temple in many of his works. In this print, we see the serene snow scenery of the Nio mon (Guardian Gate) and five-storied pagoda in the distance and Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) with a large lantern in front. The temple retains the busy, festive atmosphere of the Edo period.
