Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print depicting a bridge over water on a rainy day. A wooden bridge with a railing, elevated on pillars, extends from the bottom right corner to the center left. People on the bridge, four in total, are walking; two hold umbrellas. The background shows a body of water with another bridge on the horizon and a dark, cloudy sky above. Black lines radiate from the top, indicating falling rain. A beige border surrounds the image with Japanese text on a red vertical banner on the left and a smaller one on the right. A small beige rectangle with green and brown elements and Japanese text on a red banner are in the top right corner.
