"Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge and Atake" (大はしあたけの夕立, Ōhashi atake no yūdachi) is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in 1857, it is one of the most famous prints from his series "One Hundred Views of Edo" (名所江戸百景, Meisho Edo Hyakkei), which was produced between 1856 and 1858. This series depicts a variety of scenes from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) during the Edo period, showcasing Hiroshige's skill in capturing the essence of daily life, as well as the beauty of landscapes and urban settings.

The print captures a dramatic moment when a sudden downpour strikes the area around the Shin-Ohashi Bridge and the Atake district. The composition is noted for its dynamic use of diagonal lines that convey the force of the rain and the haste of the figures seeking shelter. The bridge, which spans the Sumida River, is rendered with a perspective that draws the viewer's eye into the scene, while the silhouettes of the pedestrians and the boats on the water are depicted with swift, minimalist strokes that evoke the urgency of the moment.

Hiroshige's use of color and contrast in this print is particularly striking. The dark tones of the rain and the bridge contrast with the lighter shades of the sky and the river, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The print is also notable for its bokashi, a technique that involves the gradation of color, which Hiroshige used to great effect in the rendering of the rain and the sky.

"Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge and Atake" is widely regarded as one of Hiroshige's masterpieces and is often cited as an example of his ability to blend realism with poetic sensibility. The print has had a lasting impact on the world of art and has influenced many artists, including the Impressionists in Europe. It remains an iconic image in the genre of ukiyo-e and a testament to Hiroshige's enduring legacy as one of Japan's greatest artists.
