"White Rain at Nihonbashi" (日本橋白雨, Nihonbashi Shirasame) is a woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the 19th century, this piece is part of Hiroshige's renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (名所江戸百景, Meisho Edo Hyakkei), which was published in serial form between 1856 and 1859. The series depicts various seasonal and atmospheric scenes of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), capturing the daily life and landscape of the city with a poetic sensibility.

The print portrays a bustling scene at Nihonbashi, the "Japan Bridge," which was the heart of Edo and the starting point of the five major roads leading out of the city. It is an iconic representation of Edo's commercial center, showing figures scurrying under the protection of their umbrellas as they contend with a sudden shower. The bridge spans the foreground, while in the background, the white rain obfuscates the details of the buildings and the horizon, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere.

Hiroshige's use of perspective and his ability to capture the effects of weather on the urban environment are particularly noteworthy in this print. The vertical composition and the contrast between the dark figures and the muted background exemplify his skill in using the ukiyo-e medium to convey mood and movement. "White Rain at Nihonbashi" is not only a valuable historical record of Edo-period Japan but also a testament to Hiroshige's artistic legacy, showcasing his mastery of landscape as a subject and his innovative approach to the woodblock printing process.

As with many of Hiroshige's works, "White Rain at Nihonbashi" has been influential in the development of Japanese art and has been admired for its aesthetic qualities and its evocative portrayal of everyday life in Edo. The print remains a significant work within the ukiyo-e genre and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance.
