Description
A beautiful rain scene by Kasamatsu Shiro. A woman and a child walk by, protecting themselves from the rain with umbrellas. Towering above them is an asymmetric, magnificent old tree, remotely echoing the shape and effect of the umbrellas. The strength of the rain varies between different prints of this design, but seems particularly strong in the current impression, and neither the umbrellas nor the tree seem capable of stopping the torrential rain entirely.
Condition notes
The print is in very good state. There are two pinholes in the left margin, most likely as published.
