About this artwork
This 1876 print by Kobayashi Kiyochika shows the Shin-Ohashi bridge in Tokyo under rain. It is a full-colour print, made by an artist best known for his colour woodblock prints. Kiyochika worked during the Meiji period, when Japan was changing quickly, and he often used a play of light and shade inspired by Western art, known as kōsen-ga. That approach was a distinctive part of his work, and many collectors regard his prints as the last significant chapter of ukiyo-e.
On your wall: A rainy city scene with a bridge suits a calm living room, study or hallway, especially where a quiet, atmospheric picture would be welcome.

About Kobayashi Kiyochika
Kobayashi Kiyochika was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, known for colour woodblock prints and newspaper illustrations made during the Meiji period (1868–1912). His work records Japan's rapid modernisation, from red-brick buildings and trains to scenes of the First Sino-Japanese War. He used light and shade inspired by Western art, and many collectors regard his prints as the last significant ukiyo-e.
