Ōiso: Tora’s Rain (Ōiso, Tora ga ame), from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road (Tōkaidō gojusan tsugi no uchi).「東海道五十三次之内　大磯　虎が雨」

One feels a sense of relief while appreciating this piece. The weary travellers have been on foot all day and rain is beating down upon them but they can now take heart in the fact that they will soon be warming and drying up. For centuries, many poets referred to this seashore at Oiso in their poems. Excellent condition. Made by Takumi Woodblock Studio, Tokyo. In original titled archival folder with protective onionskin. Date: Shōwa period.
