"Awakening to the Rainy Aftermath: From the Pleasure Quarter's "Rain the Morning After in the Pleasure Quarter (Seiro kinuginu no ame)" in 1795, to Pulcinella's weary will-making in 1780, and onward through the muddy remnants of a Pop Festival in the 1960s, the morning after a night of revelry has remained a universal constant. Be it a hangover-stricken Basset Hound named Jessie in 1984 or a woman with a pained expression and a hand to her forehead, the signs of a night well-lived are evident in the messy hair, bags under bloodshot eyes, and stubble on faces. Cheers to the memories made and the rainy mornings that follow." #MorningAfter #RainyDay #PopFestival #Hangover #ArtHistory #UniversalExperience
