Sumidagawa Hakkei Masaki Yau, also known as "Night Rain at Masaki," is a renowned woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Hiroshige, who lived from 1797 to 1858, is widely recognized for his evocative landscapes and masterful use of color and composition, which have left an indelible mark on the world of Japanese art.

This particular work is part of Hiroshige's famous series "Eight Views of the Sumida River" (Sumidagawa Hakkei), which captures various scenic spots along the Sumida River in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The series is inspired by the traditional Chinese theme of the "Eight Views," which was adapted by Japanese artists to depict local landscapes. Each print in the series portrays a different location and time of day, showcasing Hiroshige's ability to convey the transient beauty of nature.

"Night Rain at Masaki" is a striking example of Hiroshige's skill in depicting atmospheric conditions. The print illustrates a serene yet melancholic scene of Masaki, a district along the Sumida River, under a gentle night rain. The composition features a tranquil riverside with boats gently floating on the water, their occupants shielded by umbrellas. The rain is depicted through delicate, diagonal lines, creating a sense of movement and tranquility. The use of subtle gradations of color and the interplay of light and shadow evoke a mood of quiet introspection.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by its poetic quality and attention to detail, and "Night Rain at Masaki" is no exception. The print not only captures the physical beauty of the landscape but also conveys an emotional depth, inviting viewers to experience the serene and contemplative atmosphere of a rainy night in Edo. This piece, like many of Hiroshige's works, has been highly influential, inspiring artists both in Japan and abroad, including the Impressionists in Europe.
