Label Text:A sudden afternoon shower, or yūdachi (evening descent of the thunder god), pours down on pedestrians crossing the New Ohashi bridge, who shelter under their umbrellas and bamboo mats. A boatman plies his way with a long pole down the Sumida River, seemingly impervious. Ohashi, Sudden Shower at Atake is an acclaimed masterpiece from the series 100 Famous Views of Edo.
