Azuma Mori Yau|江戸近郊八景之内 吾嬬杜夜雨|Evening Rain in Azuma Wood is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This serene woodblock print depicts a tranquil landscape, with a few trees scattered along the riverbank. In the foreground, two figures are shown walking along the river, one carrying an umbrella to shield themselves from the rain. The scene is set against a backdrop of a gentle, hilly landscape, with a few buildings visible in the distance. The artist's use of muted colors and delicate lines creates a sense of calm and peacefulness, inviting the viewer to step into the serene world of the painting. The subtle play of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the gentle rain falling from the sky.

Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重) or Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重), born Andō Tokutarō (安藤 徳太郎; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition.
