About this work
The sacred Karasaki Pine was a famous sight on the shores of Lake Biwa. Its branches, supported by a framework of bamboo poles, sheltered a shrine beneath. The poem on this print reads as follows: Yielding to the sound in the evening rain, and drawing near to the evening wind, he grows famous, the pine tree of Karasaki.
