Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Colorful woodblock print depicts a riverside scene in the rain. A bridge with a tree on it spans a river, connecting to a path lined with buildings. People carry umbrellas. A red circular seal is in the bottom right corner. The background shows trees and a gray sky with rain streaks. Buildings have green roofs. A person crosses the bridge. The river is blue with a stone wall on one side. Rain falls from the sky. A tree stands on the riverbank. People are under umbrellas on the bridge and path. The scene includes a mix of natural and man-made elements.
