The ukiyo-e artform has regularly depicted different meteorological phenomena, from clear blue skies to rainy downpours and gentle snowfalls to rainbows after a storm. A special exhibition at the Ota Memorial Museum of Art explores this theme of weather in ukiyo-e, with numerous works on display from the likes of Katsushika Hokusai, Hiroshige Utagawa, and Kiyochika Kobayashi to name just a few.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 800 yen, and no advance reservations are required.
