京都名所之内 糺川原之夕立|Tea-houses on the Bank of the Tadasu River in a Shower is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a rainy scene with people walking on a bridge and others under umbrellas. The bridge is made of wood and has a railing on one side. In the background, there are trees and buildings, and the sky is gray with rain falling from it. The people in the painting are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, and some of them are carrying umbrellas to protect themselves from the rain. The overall mood of the painting is one of calmness and serenity, despite the rainy weather.
