"Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake" (大はしあたけの夕立, Ōhashi atake no yūdachi) is a famous woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Andō Hiroshige. Created in 1857, it is one of the most renowned prints from his series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (名所江戸百景, Meisho Edo Hyakkei), which depicts various landscapes and scenes from Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The series was made during the Edo period, a time when the genre of ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," flourished among the merchant class of Japan.

The print captures a dramatic moment when a group of pedestrians is caught in a sudden downpour on the Shin-Ōhashi Bridge, a large wooden bridge spanning the Sumida River. The composition is noted for its dynamic use of diagonal lines that convey the intensity of the rain, as well as the varied postures and actions of the figures as they scurry to seek shelter from the storm. The contrast between the dark, looming clouds and the lighter tones of the bridge and river below emphasizes the suddenness of the shower.

Hiroshige's masterful use of perspective and space in this print creates a sense of depth and movement, while his attention to atmospheric conditions showcases his skill in capturing the transient moods of nature. "Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake" is celebrated for its evocative portrayal of everyday life in Edo and its exquisite representation of weather effects, which have inspired countless artists and have made it one of the most iconic images in Japanese art.

The print has been widely reproduced and remains a popular image in discussions of Hiroshige's work and the ukiyo-e genre as a whole. It is held in the collections of several major museums around the world and continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
