Avondregen te Susaki 1776 - 1780

"Avondregen te Susaki" (Evening Rain at Susaki) is a woodblock print created by renowned Japanese artist Torii Kiyonaga, dating back to 1776-1780. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Kiyonaga's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, portraying three women elegantly dressed in vibrant kimonos. Their serene expressions and posture contrast with the lively scene outside their window, where boats traverse the rain-streaked water under a cloudy sky. This work beautifully captures the fleeting beauty of a rainy evening, capturing a moment in time through intricate details and delicate lines.
