Description
A lone figure with an open umbrella walks along a wet, lantern-lit path bordered by low wooden railings, rain streaking the blue-grey air as puddles catch reflected light on the pavement. A tall lit lantern post stands at right beside dark shrubs and bare branches, with a wooden building and clustered trees silhouetted in the misty background. The palette is dominated by muted indigo and grey-blue tones, evoking a quiet, wet dusk; this is Shiro Kasamatsu's 1952 woodblock print "Rainy Evening at Shinobazu Pond."
