This print captures the breath of life in the midst of a snowy scene. The large sign reading “mountain whale” stands out, though it was in fact a euphemism for wild boar meat. Other food stalls, such as those selling roasted sweet potatoes, also line the street, inviting us to imagine what one might have eaten on such a cold day.
