Praying for Rain Komachi / Kuniyoshi

A legend about Ono no Komachi:  she ends a drought by offering the following poem as   a prayer for rain, “It is only reasonable        since this is the Land of the Rising Sun for the sun to shine. Nevertheless        it is also called ama-ga-shita” (both 天 [heaven] and 雨 [rain] reads ame/ama).
