Description
Shinobazu no ike no ame (Shinobazu Pond in Rain), from the series Twenty Views of Tokyo (Tokyo nijukkei), by Kawase Hasui, 1929; color woodblock print, oban. A red-roofed shrine pavilion on a small island stands across a green pond, framed by two willow trees with bright chartreuse foliage on either side of the composition and dark pines behind. In the foreground, a wet paved path lined with benches and a low fence runs along the near shore, with two figures sheltering under a blue umbrella near the water's edge; the sky is rendered in streaked gray tones suggesting falling rain.
