"Rain at Nissaka" (1942) is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Hasui Kawase (1883-1957). The print showcases Kawase's mastery of depicting atmospheric scenes, capturing the soft, muted light of a rainy evening in a Japanese town. The composition features a narrow street lined with traditional wooden houses, with a single couple walking under an umbrella, their figures silhouetted against the fading light. The print is a beautiful example of shin hanga, a style of Japanese woodblock printing that emerged in the early 20th century.
