Tokaido, Nissaka, 1942 - Beautiful rainy night view of Nissaka, one of the stations along the famed Tokaido Road running from Edo to Kyoto during the Edo era. A mother carries her child on her back beneath an umbrella as she walks up a gently sloping street. A dog sits in front of one of the houses at right, the yellow glow from a few lighted windows up ahead reflected on the watery road, but otherwise the scene is quiet as twilight falls, creating blue and gray shadows. A lovely, atmospheric design with beautiful color and fine bokashi shading.
