"Clearing Storm at Shirogane" features the local shrine to "Lord Kiyomasa" (Katô Kiyomasa), whose martial valor was and is worshipped here, together with the deity Bishamonten, one of the "Seven Lucky Gods" (shichifukujin). The trees are printed using an innovative application of black ink that conveys the impression of thick foliage and dense shadow.
