    Japanese landscape print by Utagawa Hiroshige – Series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō", No. 8/55 (Ōiso – Toraga Ame / Tiger Rain)
    A beautiful reprint from the Shōwa period, produced using traditional Japanese ukiyo-e techniques. This print depicts the eighth station of the Tōkaidō, Ōiso, in pouring rain. Several travelers wrapped in straw capes are seen battling the weather in the heart of a village lined with tall pine trees. The colors are fresh, the gradations very fine, and the printwork highlights Hiroshige's expressive drawing. The relief of the woodcut is clearly present, and the traditional washi paper used testifies to high-quality production. A print as pleasant to the touch as it is to look at.
    Very good condition, Shōwa era, Japan.

    Dimensions – ōban format, yoko-e orientation:
    Height: 22 cm
    Width: 32 cm

    About "大磯 虎ヶ雨 – Ōiso, The Tiger's Rain":
    This print refers to a legend related to Soga no Jurō Sukenari, a famous figure in Japanese history, who is said to have taken shelter here during a downpour. The scene, beautifully balanced, blends naturalism, historical evocation, and visual poetry—a perfect illustration of Hiroshige's genius.
