Evening Rain at Karasaki-Pine Tree

A woodblock print of a dense pine tree on a rocky promontory, its dark foliage beneath falling vertical lines of rain. Pale grey mist fills the background, and small boats and a blue sea sit at the lower edge, with a small inset panel at upper left.

Look closer: A small inset panel at upper left shows figures in a boat-like scene with a red seal near the right edge.
