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
