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. —Translation by Matthi Forrer The rain is represented by fine, printed vertical lines.
