A Rainy Day in San Francisco




At last a weekend at home. And the rain was falling. I ate breakfast to the sound of rain splattering against the skylight in a darkened kitchen. Ah that "good to be inside, reading by the fire" feeling. I hope the Sierras get much needed snow. This print captures my rainy day mood today: the solitary hut, trees bare but just starting to bloom, the hope of a wet green spring and the heat of summer to come.

The woodblock print is by Shiro Kasamatsu, entitled Suenaga District in Rain, 1939.
