TEISAI HOKUBA. Taking Shelter from the Rain

Taking Shelter from the Rain. Artist: Teisai Hokuba (Japanese, 1771-1844). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 15 1/2 × 27 5/16 in. (39.4 × 69.3 cm)
Overall with mounting: 51 15/16 × 32 5/16 in. (132 × 82 cm)
Overall with knobs: 51 15/16 × 34 3/4 in. (132 × 88.3 cm). Date: early to mid-19th century.
Travelers caught in a sudden downpour take shelter under the eaves of a gate at a large estate. Men and women from different walks of life--a flower vendor, a bookseller with a stack of books, assorted pilgrims, a lion-dance performer, and a warrior--huddle under the roof. A restless child, untroubled by the rainstorm, hangs upside down from a beam.
This painting is based on a pictorial theme made popular by Hanabusa Itcho (1652-1724), who rendered the scene to represent the summer season in various formats (including a screen in the Burke Collection). The style here adheres neither to Hokuba's usual hypermeticulous depictions of women of the pleasure quarters nor to his landscapes inspired by Kano-school paintings, but perhaps was directly inspired by Itcho or one of his followers.
