Description
A single figure in a yellow straw rain cape and hat crosses a plank-and-stepping-stone bridge over a wide blue river, seen from behind, walking away from the viewer under falling rain. Beyond the bank stand a dark-foliaged tree, thatched-roof houses, and rice fields leading back to layered gray-blue mountains under an overcast sky. *Rain at Hataori, Shiobara (Shiobara Hataori no ume)*, a color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, 1955.
