About this print
A red gate stands amid snow that covers everything, and white has piled up on its lower roof as well. A large snow-laden branch cuts diagonally across the front of the gate from the right, and above, green trees heavy with snow grow thick. To the left of the gate is a low building, and to the right a low, snow-capped hedge runs on.
Zojoji is a temple founded in 1393 by a priest of the Jodo (Pure Land) school. In 1590 it was chosen as the family temple of the Tokugawa, and in 1598 it moved to its present site in Shiba.
