Two men on a sloping road in the rain 

This woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, depicts two figures walking along a path under a heavy downpour. The artist's use of bold lines and detailed patterns creates a sense of depth and realism, while the muted color palette evokes a melancholic mood. The figures are dwarfed by the expansive landscape, emphasizing the power of nature. This print is a characteristic example of the *ukiyo-e* style, which emerged in the Edo period and often featured landscapes, scenes of daily life, and kabuki theater.
