This etching with chine collé addresses the transitional atmospheric moment between rain showers — the quality of light, the wet surfaces, the suspended moisture in air. Ando likely renders landscape elements — perhaps foliage, stone, or water — in conditions of dampness, using aquatint tones to suggest the diffuse, gray-white illumination characteristic of overcast skies between precipitation. Chine collé contributes warmth that counteracts the cool cast of a wet scene. The title's phrasing is attentive to duration and rhythm rather than a static view, suggesting the composition may emphasize reflective surfaces or plant forms weighted by recent rain.
