“Sudden Shower over Ohashi Bridge at Atake” is one of Hiroshige's late series, "Meisho Edo Hyakkei (One Hundred Famous Views of Edo)", which depicts various landscapes in and around Edo (present-day Tokyo). It is known to have been copied by Van Gogh, a famous Impressionist painter.
The Ohashi Bridge, which spanned from Hamacho in Nihonbashi to Fukagawa Rokumabori, was also called "Atake" because it housed the storehouse of the Ataketomaru, a ship used by the shogunate. The bold composition looking down on the bridge poetically depicts the intensity of a sudden summer evening shower in this realistic masterpiece.
Hiroshige’s striking design later inspired Western artists, most notably Vincent van Gogh, who painted Japonaiserie: The Bridge in the Rain in 1887, reinterpreting the print’s composition and expressive movement in his own oil painting.
