Comment - Winter scene with a boy skating. He is wrapped in a long yellow scarf, and is flying an edo kaku kite (江戸角) with a kanji character (not read), while he makes his laps on the ice. The roofs of a snow-covered village can be seen in the background, some houses with trees in front of them. The sky is uniformly snow-grey.

Text and the seal on the right margin are not read.

Perhaps formerly tipped onto the top cover of a post-war Japanese greeting card or calendar (remains of glue on top back edge).
