Shower-Shelter on the Shore of Tempozan Bay 1838

"Shower-Shelter on the Shore of Tempozan Bay" is a woodblock print created in 1838 by the Japanese artist Yashima Gakutei (1786–1868). This print depicts a bustling scene of people passing through a structure that resembles a large gate or a shelter. The artist utilizes vivid colors and detailed lines to capture the energy of the moment. This print is a notable example of *ukiyo-e*, a style of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868) and is known for its colorful depiction of everyday life and popular culture. The work is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
