Comment
Rare inking with the very dark and rain-laden sky. It is the first (no. 47) of the three depictions of rain in the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei), all belonging to the summer season. Here Hiroshige depicts the type of constant and oblique precipitation, typical of the “plum rain” of June, so named for the fruit that appears during that time. In the Kanda River, the boatmen, protected by straw raincoats, transport their loads of timber, while the hill residents all seem comfortable under the warm summer rain. On the right, the outer walls of the Yushima Seidō Shrine, founded in the 17th century for the study of Confucianism, are visible.
