Teahouse at Koishikawa the morning after a snowfall by Katsushika Hokusai

Imagine waking up to a world completely transformed by snow—that's exactly what Hokusai depicts here, as a group of women gather on a teahouse balcony to point out at the breathtaking view. The iconic Mount Fuji stands tall in the distance, bathed in the soft pink glow of dawn, while a few birds brave the chilly morning air. This masterpiece is part of his legendary 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' series, proving that even a quiet, snowy morning in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) could be spectacular. The thick blanket of white snow on the rooftops and trees creates a cozy, peaceful scene that makes you want to sip some hot tea right alongside them.
