Description : A rainstorm at Suhara. One of the most important compositions from the Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido. The set started by Eisen and published by Hoeido in 1835; but in 1837 Hiroshige took over and completed the series with the publisher Iseiri ( Kinjudo ). Suhara is located below Agematsu in the Kiso Valley and is subject to torrential rain in the summer months when humid air from the coastal plains hits the cooler air of the mountains. There are variant states of this design with differences in colour and gradation. This is an early impression. Very good impression. Slight fading, otherwise very good colour and condition. Signed Hiroshige ga. Status: sold
