A horizontally oriented color woodcut depicts a dense cityscape under streaking rain. Dominated by muted grays and blues, geometric shapes of blue-tiled rooftops in the foreground look over white-walled houses in the middle ground. A dark, tiered pagoda silhouettes against distant hills in the background. Thin vertical lines layer over the scene, creating an atmosphere of heavy rain falling from a dark sky.
