Night Rain at the Azuma Shrine (from the series Eight Views of the Environs of Edo), mid-1830s. Creator: Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858)
Night Rain at the Azuma Shrine (from the series Eight Views of the Environs of Edo), mid-1830s. Here Hiroshige reinterprets the traditional Chinese poetic and artistic theme of Eight Views of Xiaoxiang, a scenic region in southeast China. Inspired by "rain at night on the Xiaoxiang, " Hiroshige instead places travelers near Azuma Jinja Shrine in an Edo (present-day Tokyo) suburb. Synthetic blue pigment, imported from the West and wildly popular in the early 1800s, adds vibrancy to the muted landscape. Thin, ruler-straight diagonal lines of white ink evoke the driving rain
