"Sudden Rainstorm at Shono" (Shōno haku-u, 庄野白雨) is a renowned woodblock print created by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is print number 46 from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" (Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi no uchi, 東海道五十三次之内), which was produced in the Hoeido edition around 1833-1834. This series depicts scenes from along the Tōkaidō, the coastal road connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital.

The "Sudden Rainstorm at Shono" captures a dynamic moment as travelers on the Tōkaidō road are caught in a sudden downpour near the post station of Shono. Hiroshige's mastery in portraying weather conditions and the movement of the figures as they struggle against the elements is evident in this piece. The composition is characterized by strong diagonal lines of rain, which contrast with the vertical forms of the travelers and their umbrellas, creating a sense of urgency and movement.

Hiroshige's "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" is one of his most famous series and is celebrated for its innovative compositions, atmospheric perspective, and the artist's ability to capture the essence of each location with a blend of realism and romanticism. The series was a commercial success and contributed significantly to Hiroshige's fame and the popularity of the ukiyo-e genre.

The "Sudden Rainstorm at Shono" is particularly noted for its dramatic expression of natural forces and the human experience within the landscape, themes that are recurrent in Hiroshige's work. This print, along with the rest of the Tōkaidō series, has had a lasting impact on the development of Japanese landscape art and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
