Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicting people taking shelter in a small hut on a rainy day. In the foreground, some are entering or are inside the hut while others continue on their journey outside. Two people are carrying baskets on their backs and walking to the left; they wear blue clothing, shorts, and sandals. A horse and another person silhouette are seen to their left. A tree trunk with green leaves stands near the hut on the right. The background shows diagonal rain lines against a gray sky with some Japanese characters and red seals visible.
