Hiroshige Utagawa (1797-1858) after, Sudden downpour on the Shin Ohashi and Atake bridge, Print from the "One Hundred Views of Edo" series, Japan, 32.2 X 21.7 cm + frame, Posthumous print, 20th century, publisher: daiichi kougei (in red, on the left margin), The print shows a small section of the Shin-?hashi wooden bridge over the Sumida River. A boatman plunges his log raft towards the Fukagawa lumberyards, and in the background, on the other bank of the river, is a part of Edo known as Atake after the government ship, the Atakemaru, which was moored there. Six people cross the bridge, sheltering under hats, umbrellas or straw capes from a sudden downpour. Sudden downpours are a recurring theme in the prints, and the downpour is depicted using a large number of thin, dark parallel lines in 2 directions - a difficult skill in wood carving. The dark clouds are produced using a graduated bokashi technique and vary considerably between prints. The rain, the shelter of the people and the log raft in the center of the image give the picture a sense of movement. One of Hiroshige's best-known prints.
