Night Rain at the Azuma Shrine (from the series Eight Views of the Environs of Edo)

Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a serene landscape with a road running along the edge of a body of water on a rainy day. Two individuals walk along the path, one holding a large umbrella. A bridge spans the water in the background. Trees line the shoreline and a field is on the left. The sky is overcast and gray, with rain falling diagonally across the scene. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right side. The color palette is muted, with shades of gray, blue, and black dominating the scene.
