Description
A dark-tiled temple roof and a gnarled pine with sweeping blue-green branches dominate the composition, rain falling in fine diagonal strokes against a deep grey-green sky. Below, a single figure in blue walks under an open umbrella along a wet, reflective stone path, passing a stone lantern beside a low wooden fence. *Spring Rain at the Gokoku Temple (Harusame (Gokokuji))*, by Kawase Hasui, 1932, color woodblock print.
