EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "Night Rain, Oyama" is part of the renowned series Eight Views of Famous Places by Utagawa Toyokuni II. The print, measuring 26.4x38 cm, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of a stormy night in nineteenth-century Japan. In this atmospheric scene, we are transported to a mountainous landscape enveloped in darkness and heavy rainfall. The ominous clouds loom over an ancient volcano as rain cascades down upon the lush woodland below. With no human presence in sight, the viewer becomes immersed in the natural space and adverse conditions brought about by this tempestuous weather. Utagawa Toyokuni II skillfully employs his signature ukiyo-e style to depict this nocturnal scene with great detail and precision. The calligraphic elements add depth and character to the composition while emphasizing the negative concept associated with such inclement weather. As we gaze at this mesmerizing artwork, we can almost feel ourselves standing on that precipice overlooking Oyama during a monsoon-like storm. It serves as a reminder of nature's power and its ability to evoke both awe and trepidation within us. This stunning print from Bridgeman Images captures not only an extraordinary moment but also highlights Utagawa Toyokuni II's exceptional talent as one of Japan's most celebrated artists.
