“Jūmantsubo Plain at Fukagawa Susaki,” from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
A hawk dives for prey on the snowy marshes below, known as Jūmantsubo after its approximate area of one hundred thousand tsubo (about eighty acres). The awesome figure of the hawk seen from a peculiar angle emphasizes the severity of the snowy weather.
