"Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake" is a renowned woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This work is part of his acclaimed series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Yedo Hiakkei), which was published between 1856 and 1858 during the late Edo period. Hiroshige's series captures the essence of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) through a variety of landscapes, cityscapes, and seasonal views, offering a vivid portrayal of the city's beauty and daily life.

The print depicts a sudden rainstorm over the Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and the nearby Atake district. The scene is characterized by its dynamic composition and the dramatic use of perspective, which draws the viewer's eye across the bridge and into the distance. Hiroshige masterfully conveys the suddenness of the downpour through the diagonal lines of rain, which create a sense of movement and urgency. The figures on the bridge, caught off guard by the rain, are shown hurrying to find shelter, adding a human element to the natural spectacle.

Hiroshige's use of color and shading in this print is particularly noteworthy. The contrast between the dark, rain-laden sky and the lighter tones of the bridge and water below enhances the atmospheric effect. The artist's skillful application of bokashi (gradation) technique adds depth and dimension to the scene, making the rain appear almost tangible.

"Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake" is widely regarded as one of Hiroshige's masterpieces and has had a significant influence on both Japanese and Western art. The print's composition and atmospheric qualities were admired by many Western artists, including Vincent van Gogh, who created his own version of the work. Today, Hiroshige's print remains a celebrated example of the ukiyo-e genre and a testament to his ability to capture the fleeting beauty of nature and everyday life.
