Title,
唐崎夜雨　五　
Karasaki no yau Go - Night Rain at Karasaki No.5

夜の雨に音をゆつりて夕風をよそに
なたつるからさきのまつ
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

Right fringe,
畫工西村重長筆　Painter Nishimura Shigenaga's brushwork

He produced some of the earliest ukiyo-e landscape prints; in 1727, his was the first set of prints of Lake Biwa.[5] His work had a strong influence on later artists such as Suzuki Harunobu etc.

With regards,

One minor comment -- my information has the publisher of this print as "Masuya" 舛屋. This is Marks publisher U212 (seal 25-372), and GUDJ publisher 647.

I know of a couple of other designs I take to be from the same series:

The form of "masu" 舛 used in the seal is a little different from the modern orthodox form, but GlyphWiki shows some variations that are pretty close:

Dear Alec,
Thanks for the correction.

Masuya 舛屋 was a wholesale distributor of printed materials located in Edo during the Edo period .
They published tan-e and urushi-e by Okumura Toshinobu , urushi- e by Nishimura Shigenaga , and urushi-e by Torii Kiyonobu.

I even found it in my handbook library.
原色浮世絵大百科事典 第3巻 大修館書店 1982年 p.142

Regards,
I.Nagy
