After a snowfall, a steep white slope climbs diagonally across the sheet toward the walls of Kameyama Castle at the upper right, and a procession winds up the road through snow-laden pines. Below to the left the rooftops of the town lie under snow, and the clear sky shades from blue at the top to pale pink near the horizon. The print is number forty-seven in the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō, published by Hōeidō (Takenouchi Magohachi) in 1833–34. Kameyama, the forty-sixth station, was a castle town in Ise Province set on high ground above the road, and Hiroshige lets the diagonal of the hillside divide the picture almost in two; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Crisp white snow and dark pines under a blue-to-pink sky, for a bedroom, living room or study at 36×24 in natural wood. It pairs with Kanbara: Night Snow for two winter scenes from the road.

Size. We'd hang this one at 36×24. Prints at 18×12, 24×16, 36×24 in — 18×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×16 above a console or sideboard; 36×24 as the statement piece above a sofa or headboard.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
