Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido: Tora’s Rain at Oiso 東海道五拾三次之内　大磯虎ヶ雨とうかいどうごじゅうさんつぎのうち　おおいそ　とらがあめ

Description

現在の神奈川県中郡大磯町あたり。右側に見える山は高麗山。この山には『曽我物語』の曽我十郎と恋仲であった虎御前ゆかりの草庵があったとされる。「虎ヶ雨」とは虎御前が十郎を偲び流した涙を指し、十郎が討死した陰暦5月28日に降る雨のことをいう。構図をみると、左右に立て分け、左側に遠く臨む静かな海を描いたのに対して、右側に立ち並ぶ宿場町の店の重なり、折れ曲がった樹木などを巧みに描き入れ、画面の均衡を保っている。
