A view looking up a wide series of stone steps toward Konjikido at Chusonji Temple, on a snowy winter's day. A layer of snow covers the stone path leading up a gentle slope; tall pine trees, their branches covered in snow, grow close on either side of the path. A lone figure wearing a broad straw hat and carrying a walking stick - possibly a monk or a pilgrim - climbs the steps. Ahead stands Konjikido, the Golden Hall at Chusonji Temple; the building looks closed up against the weather, its doors and windows shuttered. No other people are visible. Beyond the temple, more pine tress stand tall against a dim, overcast sky.
