Seasons are a main theme in the Japanese
culture. Tsuyu (literally "plum rain," since
plums ripen during this time) brings the water
needed to flood rice fields. As such, the
Japanese consider the coming of tsuyu vitally
important to the well-being of the country, and
traditionally have conducted rain-making rituals
(amagoi) that include prayers, religious
offerings to the gods, and special dances

The importance of rain to Japan's pre-modern
agricultural society resulted in a rich poetic
lexicon of rain-related vocabulary harusame, the
soft rain of spring haku'u, the "white rain" of
a sudden shower yñdachi, an evening downpour
kirisame, misty rain shigure, the cold rain of
late autumn or winter and so on. From the
mid-19th century, landscape print artists
attempted to capture these sentiments in their
compositions, and developed a variety of
specialized techniques for depicting different
types of rain
