Description
Mount Arashi (Arashiyama, the Storm Mountain) in rain is one of Kyoto's most atmospherically charged landscape subjects — the mountain's forested slopes softened by falling rain, the Oi River below gray with water, the bamboo groves releasing their particular humid fragrance in the wet air. Kotozuka's treatment of the scene in rain would employ the tonal restraint that wet weather demands: a palette dominated by grays and muted greens, with the rain indicated through atmospheric diffusion rather than individual raindrop lines.
