Rain at Murotozaki renders the famous cape at the southeastern tip of the Kochi coast, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Kii Channel in some of the roughest waters in Japan. Muroto's extreme exposure to Pacific weather — typhoons, heavy swells, the driving rain of the kuroshio current — made it a subject of natural drama. Hagiwara's treatment of the rainstorm at this dramatic coastal location used his carved woodblock surfaces to capture the texture of driven rain against the rocky cape, the sea spray and rain combining into a continuous atmospheric assault.
