Usuyuki has many meanings in Japanese: a light snow, something that passes quickly, or a Kabuki play that tells a love story. Here, striking developments are apparent in Johns’s printmaking. The influence of the artist’s work in screenprinting can be seen in the multiple layers of transparent ink used to achieve a substantial surface, and the use of the offset press, which allowed for more layers of ink than a hand press, is apparent in the print's overall subtlety.
