Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print depicting a bridge over water on a rainy day. The bridge has a light-colored wooden deck with a red railing and brown supports. It extends from the bottom-right corner to the middle-left side of the image. People are on the bridge, some holding umbrellas. One person is rowing a boat on the water to the left of the bridge. The water is light blue and darkens toward the bottom. A dark shoreline with trees is in the background. The image has a beige border with Japanese writing on red rectangles in the top-right and bottom-left corners and a yellow rectangle in the top-right corner. Rain falls diagonally across the image.
