Eight Views of Ômi: #2 Night Rain at Karasaki

Artist

Andô Hiroshige

Physical Description

Vertical lines stream downward across the print indicate torrents of rain. The dark color pallette and black strip across the top indicate that the image is set at night. A giant tree on an island looms over the image, surrounded by water. A poem in the upper left corner reads:

"Elsewhere will they talk of the music of the evening breeze

that has made the pine of Karasaki famous; the voice of the

wind is not heard through the sound of the rain in the night."

The signature and title markings are in the upper right corner, and in the middle along the left side above the landscape.
