夕立
by Ito Shinsui
Shinsui's extensive oeuvre spans bijin-ga, landscapes, and genre subjects. Auction averages over 12 months reflect healthy collector demand across all subject types.
A woman hurries through a sudden summer downpour, clutching her kimono and umbrella. The dynamic composition captures the urgency of the moment, with rain slanting across the picture surface and the woman''s garments billowing in the wind. The print belongs to Shinsui''s early masterful period of prints for Watanabe.
