Will it fit? Check these sizes against your wall

Measure the wall between whatever bounds it — window trim, a doorway, the corner. Sizes are judged hung (frame included) with 6 in of breathing room, two-thirds the width of the furniture under them, and the center at eye level (57–60 in). Guidance, not a guarantee: the true-size template is the final check.

Materials & finish

Printed on 400 gsm canvas with pigment inks. Stretched canvas and float frame canvas sit on a 1.5 in (38 mm) wooden stretcher; the classic frame holds the canvas on a slimmer 0.75 in (19 mm) stretcher. Rolled canvas ships in a sturdy tube.

The float frame stands 2.1 in (53 mm) off the wall, with a 0.5 in (12 mm) face and a 0.2 in (5 mm) gap around the canvas. The classic frame stands 0.9 in (22 mm) off the wall with a 0.8 in (20 mm) face.

Hanging hardware is not included. Two picture hooks (or screws) rated for the weight, set level, are all it needs; the free true-size wall template marks the spot.

The story of this print

A sudden downpour catches a handful of people on a wooden bridge, seen from high above. The bridge cuts across the picture on a long diagonal, the river below turns pale under the rain, and the far shore fades into a gray-blue blur beneath a dark band of cloud. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) designed it for his series 100 Famous Views of Edo, and the tall vertical format lets the storm fill the sky from top to bottom.

The rain itself is the subject. It falls as hundreds of thin dark lines, set at slightly different angles so the shower seems to shift and flicker across the scene. On the bridge, two figures share a black umbrella, a flash of red and green clothing below it. Ahead of them a man in a yellow hat bends forward with bare legs, two more share a single wide hat, and another runs hunched under a straw covering. Out on the water a raftsman keeps poling. The red title panel at the top and the red signature panel at lower left add warm notes to the cool blues.

This is an impression from the period of the design, per the Library’s dating, and the scan shows crisp lines with only small marks of age. Its tall shape fits a narrow wall, a hallway or entryway, or the space beside a bookcase in an office, and it makes thoughtful Japanese wall art for a bedroom. It pairs well with other rain and river scenes by Hiroshige.

What we did to this scan

  1. Cropped by hand to the edge of the printed sheet.
  2. Balanced the levels and took out the scanner’s color cast, keeping 65% of the paper’s age tone.
  3. Cleaned dust and specks picked up by the scanner.
  4. A light sharpen, so fine lines and lettering hold at large sizes.

About this particular sheet. The scanned sheet is an impression from the period of the design, which the Library of Congress dates to 1857. The image is cropped to the printed picture, with the paper margins removed.

Every print is credited to its archive here and in your order confirmation. Paper tone and small imperfections of the original are kept on purpose; nothing is redrawn. How we restore.

Questions

What does the print show?
People hurrying across the great bridge at Atake as a heavy shower sweeps over the river. Rain falls in fine dark lines across the whole picture, travelers huddle under hats, an umbrella and a straw covering, and a lone man poles a raft through the gray water behind them.
Is this an original woodblock print?
No. It is a new print made from the Library of Congress's scan of a woodblock impression from the period of the design, as dated by the Library. We never sell originals or antiques.
Where does the image come from?
It comes from the Library of Congress's high-resolution scan. The print was designed and first published in the Edo period by an artist who died in the 1800s, so it is in the public domain, and the Library lists no known restrictions on publication. The Library's catalog record is linked on this page.
How is it made?
It is printed to order for you, in the finish you choose: a float frame canvas, a classic frame canvas, a stretched canvas, a rolled canvas or an acrylic panel. Both frames come in Black or Antique Gold. The size and finish picker shows which sizes each finish is made in.
Colors vary a little between screens and canvas. The previews are drawn, not photographed, and are a close match to the printed piece.
