Description
A five-story pagoda with dark tiered roofs rises against a rain-streaked grey-green sky, its lower stories partly screened by trees in white blossom and dark green pines. In the foreground a lone figure walks along a street beneath a red umbrella, past a low fence, with a lamppost visible at right. The palette is dominated by muted greens, greys, and blacks, evoking a wet, overcast evening; "Shiro Kasamatsu, Pagoda in Evening Rain (Yanaka, Tokyo), woodblock print, 1932."
