Vincent van Gogh painted faux calligraphy around a print of one of these objects in which figures cower under umbrellas; that print from Hiroshige’s One Hundred (10[2])Famous (10[1])Views of Edo (-5[1])depicts (-5[1])a “sudden shower” over one of these (10[2])objects. (-5[1])One of these (-5[1])man-made objects was often shown among willow trees in a series begun in 1899 (10[1])and continued through the artist’s cataract issues.
