This snow scene is one of Hiroshige's most famous prints. He has beautifully illustrated the scene with strong verticals and diagonals, as seen in the poles of lumbers combined with the zigzag of the river. The print gives a strong sense of distance. The logs were delivered to the yards in the form of rafts, poled up and down the river. The wood was used for the construction of the city of Edo, which at that time was the world's largest wood-built city.
Cette scene sous la neige est Tune des estampes les plus connues d'Hiroshige. La scene est magnifiquement illustree au moyen de fortes verticales et diagonales : remarquez les perches de bois au-dessus du zigzag de la riviere. L�oeuvre transmet I'impression de distance avec puissance. On livrait les billots au depot par flottaison, pousses � la perche vers l'amont ou l'aval de la riviere.

Theo Wiggan by her Ikebana students and friends AGGV 2007.036.001 p.37
The main reasons the United States sent Commodore Matthew Perry to Japan in 1853 was to open up Japan, so the U.S. could use it as a coaling base for its steamships and for trade, and to make sure Japan treated any of its shipwrecked sailors well.
La principale raison pour laquelle les Etats-Unis envoient le commodore Matthew Perry au Japon en 1853 est pour forcer son ouverture au reste du monde, car ils voulaient pouvoir ravitailler leurs vapeurs en charbon et commercer avec les Japonais. Ils voulaient egalement s�assurer que le Japon traite ses marins convenablement en cas de naufrage.
