The beautiful snow print 'Ikomaya' (Ikomaya in Snow) is by Katsuyuki Nishijima. This stunning piece captures the snow-covered streets of Tsumago in Nagano Prefecture. The scene showcases the charm and elegance of an old Japanese-style hotel, now transformed into a tea room. The pure white snow creates a peaceful and refined atmosphere, while the large Ikomaya sign, along with the smaller Tsumago Yado and Oyado signs, adds to the quaintness of the town.
