Japanese Woodblock Print Utagawa Kuniyoshi Rain on the Tenth Day Geisha Ukiyo-e MA399. This hand-printed woodblock print, meticulously restored by the Adachi Hanga Research Institute, is a faithful reproduction of “Toka no Ame” (Rain on the Tenth Day) by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a master Ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. Although Kuniyoshi is best known for his bold warrior prints (Musha-e) and supernatural themes, he also created elegant and emotionally expressive Bijin-ga (portraits of beautiful women), demonstrating his remarkable versatility. This print depicts a woman caught in the rain on the tenth day of the lunar month, a subject that conveys both the beauty of everyday life and the transience of nature-a recurring theme in Japanese art. Wrapped in a delicately patterned kimono, she shields herself from the rain, her posture and facial expression evoking a quiet moment of contemplation. Kuniyoshi’s fine brushwork, subtle shading, and attention to textile details bring depth and realism to the composition, making this piece an exceptional example of his sensitivity to mood and atmosphere. Printed on high-quality washi paper, this edition maintains the depth of color, soft tonal transitions, and intricate detailing true to the original Ukiyo-e technique. The print includes reference materials, providing insight into its history and the meticulous restoration process. Width: 35 cm / 13.78 inches. Height: 48.8 cm / 19.21 inches.
