Stormachtige dag aan de Sumida rivier 1844

"Stormachtige dag aan de Sumida rivier" (Stormy Day on the Sumida River), created in 1844 by Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865), portrays a woman in traditional Japanese clothing under a blossoming cherry tree. The scene depicts the woman's delicate hand reaching out to touch a fallen cherry blossom. The print's vibrant colors and detailed design highlight the beauty of nature and the quiet serenity of the scene. This work exemplifies the "ukiyo-e" style, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints popular in the Edo period, which often depicted scenes from everyday life, landscapes, and popular theater.
