Japanese Travelers During Snowstorm

Two travelers, one on horseback, on a precipice or natural bridge during a snowstorm. Ukiyo-e (picture of the floating world) is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e was central to forming the West's perception of Japanese art in the late 19th century. The landscape genre has come to dominate Western perceptions of ukiyo-e. The Japanese landscape differed from the Western tradition in that it relied more heavily on imagination, composition, and atmosphere than on strict observance of nature. Katsushika Hokusai, circa 1890-1940s
