Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge and Atake is one of Hiroshige’s most famous designs and is universally appreciated as the masterpiece of the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. Dense black clouds have gathered in the sky and are releasing a heavy summer downpour of rain onto the landscape beneath. Pedestrians crossing the bridge hurry off, huddled under umbrellas or straw capes. A solitary boatman guides his raft of logs along the river beyond. The bridge is Ohashi which crossed the Sumida River and along the far riverbank are the Shogunal storehouses at Atake.
