This print is a night view of rain falling at the ancient pine tree of Karasaki beside Lake Biwa near Otsu; its heavy, low branches supported by wood stilts. The tree shelters a shrine beneath its boughs.
The poem in the clouds reads:
Yo no ame ni/ oto o yuzurite/ yukaze o/ yoso ni na tatsuru/ Karasaki no matsu
[Yielding to the sound in the evening rain and drawing near to the evening wind, he grows famous: the pine tree of Karasaki]
