Hasui's biographer "Narazaki writes: 'An ancient pine tree at the side of a pond; it conveys the brooding mood of a bleak nocturnal downpour. The work was undoubtedly created to rival the print Night Rain at Karasaki...by Hiroshige'" - Kawase Hasui: The Complete Woodblock Prints, Kendall H. Brown (Hotei).
