Evening Rain on the Karasaki Pine

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a pine tree on a rocky outcrop in the water. The pine tree is large and dark green, with a distinctive shape. It sits on a gray rocky outcrop that extends into a blue body of water. A small white boat is near the outcrop. In the background, there are buildings and a bridge to the right. The sky is gray and rainy, with vertical lines suggesting rain. There are several Japanese characters and symbols on the print, including a red seal in the top-right corner and a small painting in the top-left corner. The print has a beige border with rounded corners.
