Snow falls on the banks of Tokyo's Sumida River. In the foreground, small open boats have been drawn up to the docks and partially covered with tarps. Just beyond, a single pilot launches a small ferry boat, their a solitary passenger sheltering under a bamboo umbrella. Out on the river, another small boat makes its way along the water; on the opposite bank, houses are dark and still under a layer of snow. The sky above is gloomy and overcast, and snow continues falling across the scene.

A snowy evening in Tokyo. A solitary figure wearing a kimono and carrying a bamboo umbrella stands beneath a tall snow-plastered tree on the shore of the Sumida River; nearby, a building is concealed behind a cluster of snow-caked trees and a fence. Small boats travel on the still surface of the cold-looking river beyond. A layer of snow covers everything, as more snow falls from an overcast sky

A wooden bridge spans Tokyo's Sumida River on a gloomy, rainy day. In the foreground, a single pilot wearing a broad straw hat steers a slim open boat beneath a wooden bridge; his solitary passenger is a female figure in a green kimono, sitting with a wrapped package on her lap, sheltering under a bamboo umbrella. On the bridge above them, two pedestrians pass each other, headed in opposite directions: a figure carrying a garden hoe over their shoulder headed toward us, and another figure carrying an umbrella headed away from us. Other small boats navigate the water beyond the bridge, and another similar wooden bridge can be seen in the distance. On the far side of the water, thatched-roof houses are tucked in among trees; above, the sky is dark and overcast, and rain continues to fall across the scene.

A wooden horse-drawn cart pauses by tall racks of cut bamboo standing next to the Sumida River. The cart driver rests his head on his arms, with his arms folded across his knees; a broad-brimmed hat covers his head. The horse waits patiently, looking off to the left. A break in the stacks of bamboo shows us the blue Sumida River sliding by; across the water, a few houses stand on the opposite bank. Puffy white clouds rise in an intense blue sky, and bright sunshine saturates the scene

After an excellent breakfast at the Mesm, we went to the Meguro River to see the riverside sakura. We then went to the Sumida River near Tokyo Skytree for more sakura before having a sushi lunch. We ended the day at Chidorigafuchi Park for yet more sakura!

Title: From the Ryogoku Bridge (1939)

A view of early evening activity on Tokyo's Sumida River, as seen from Ryogoku Bridge. To the right, silhouettes of small boats travel along the river, while blocky shapes of buildings line up on the riverbank on the left side of the image. The buildings are lit from within, windows and lanterns glowing, their illumination reflecting on and scattered by the surface of the river. A few silhouettes of people can be seen in the windows. The sky above is dusty purple at the horizon, fading to a deeper shade above, indicating a sunset not too long ago. The entire image has a soft, hazy appearance

A foggy day on Tokyo's Sumida River. In the foreground, a single pilot busies himself with an unseen task on a small wooden boat; on our left, heavy stone foundations enclose this side of the river, while on our right, a second larger boat is moored alongside the smaller one, unoccupied. A healthy looking tree grows on the shore, its leafy branches reaching over a stone wall and toward the river. Beyond, the curved arch of the modern Etai Bridge is indistinct in the mist, with pedestrians, vehicles and a tram car crossing the bridge all reduced to silhouettes. Another small open boat carrying two figures is crossing the calm river on the other side of the bridge, obscured by the fog. Above, the sky is overcast, the light diffused and directionless

Title: Shin-Ohashi (1926)

A view of a dark rainy evening at one end of Tokyo's Shin-Ohashi Bridge. A rickshaw driver in a broad bamboo hat is just finishing crossing the bridge; behind him, pedestrians carrying bamboo umbrellas are headed across the bridge in the opposite direction. Electric wires and tram wires crisscross the space above the street. Lights glow a dull orange in fixtures to the right of the bridge, and across the ornate ironwork archway spanning the street. The rain is coming down heavily - the road in the foreground is slick with rainwater reflecting and scattering the light from the bridge lamps, and the lines of the tram rails running along the middle of the street are clearly visible in the wet. Above, the sky is dark with roiling clouds.

A single oarsman pilots a small boat loaded with cargo beneath a tall curved bridge spanning the Sumida River. Above, scattered pedestrians pause to look down toward the water or up at the night sky (which is populated by a field of stars, but no moon). Beyond, warm lights glow in the windows of shadowy houses on either side of the river; the still surface of the water reflects these orange lights and the blue of the evening sky. Further down the river, another boat glides across the water, and a second curved bridge stands on the horizon. The boats, the bridge, the pedestrians, and the houses are all reduced to dark silhouettes by the gloom of the night

A bright afternoon on Tokyo's Sumida River. In the foreground, passengers wait for a ferry on a short dock, while out on the river, open boats and small sailboats make their way along the water. Beyond the river, the urban landscape of Tokyo is reduced to a complex silhouette; a colourless haze has settled over the city, fading to pale blue streaked with a few wispy white clouds higher in the sky

Title: Dusk at Kiba (1920)

Artist: Hasui Kawase

The Sumida River in the Kiba area of Tokyo's Fukugawa district at dusk; rafts of logs bound together, lumber bound for Tokyo Bay, rest unattended in rows along either side of the river. Just ahead, a lone shadow figure crosses a short curved bridge spanning the water; on the far side, houses stand among utility poles. Above, the sun has already set, and blue sky fades through warm gold to rosy pink at the horizon, where scattered clouds are breaking up. The bridge, the utility poles and the colours of the sky are reflected in the still surface of the water

Title: May Rain, Arakawa

Artist: Hasui Kawase

#Hasui #HasuiKawase #ShinHanga #Art #Spring #May #Rain #SumidaRiver #Arakawa #Tokyo #Japan

Dark rainclouds fill the sky over a wide river. In the center of the river, two men pilot a boat transporting cargo under tarps.

On the near shore, a woman carrying a bamboo umbrella approaches a larger boat moored near the riverbank.

Two long planks of wood have been used to create a makeshift bridge stretching from the shore, across two small rowboats, and finally to the larger boat - where a man leans out of a window, chin in his hands and elbows on a wide windowsill, looking toward the woman on the shore. Flowers sit next to him on the sill in a pot.

On the far side of the river, a stand of trees conceals all but the rooftop of a house, and empty fields stretch away into the distance

Title: Snow on the Sumida River

A solitary figure with an umbrella stands beneath a tall leafless tree on the shore of the Sumida River; nearby, a house is concealed behind a cluster of trees and a tall fence, while small boats travel on the still surface of the river beyond. A layer of snow covers everything, as more snow falls from an overcast sky
