Description: This print depicts a young woman in a red kimono walking by the shore during a thunderstorm. Battling the strong wind, she clutches her robe and umbrella tightly. Raijin, the Thunder God, is hidden behind a black cloud, unleashing thunderbolts represented by red jagged lines.

The color palette, limited to blacks, whites, and reds, combined with the oblique lines that are used to represent the rain and the umbrella ribs, give a lot of dynamism to the whole design.

The left corners are chipped. There is a tear at the bottom and there are a few black stains at the edges. Glue residue traces are visible on the corners. Also, there are a few traces of glue removal on the backside.
