Utagawa Hiroshige, 1857
A sudden evening shower sweeps across a great bridge in Hiroshige's Edo, a quiet moment of weather caught in a Japanese woodblock-style view.

This is Hiroshige's Ōhashi Atake no yūdachi, known in English as Evening Shower at Atake and the Great Bridge. Dated 1857, it belongs to his series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The title tells us what to look for: a great bridge and a sudden evening downpour at Atake. Hiroshige is regarded as the last great master of the ukiyo-e tradition, and this view shows his interest in everyday scenes of Edo and the weather that passes through them. It is a work to return to for its sense of a single, fleeting moment.
On your wall: Its calm, rain-washed subject suits studies, living rooms, hallways and bedrooms, especially where you want a quiet, contemplative note or a touch of Japanese art.

Utagawa Hiroshige, born Andō Tokutarō and also known as Andō Hiroshige, was a Japanese artist who worked in the ukiyo-e tradition. He is regarded as the last great master of that tradition, and his name remains closely tied to the form. His prints are a fine way to bring that heritage into a home.
