This print was requested by the Commission for Protection of Cultural Properties to designate the woodblock printing technique as a "mukei bunkazai" (intangible cultural asset). The block cutting was undertaken by Sato Jurokichi, the foremost living block-cutter. The printer was Ono Gintaro (1885-c.1962), who had worked with Hasui for over 36 years. The distinctive technical features include the illustration of the snowflakes, created by repeated over-printing (more than 40 times), and the block-cutting of the detailed wooden architectural framework of the multi-storied, vermilion-colored Sanmon (main gate) of the Zojo Temple. This print solidified Hasui's position as the "Master of Snow". Hasui was named a Living National Treasure in 1956.
