Visual Atelier 8 ERIKA DOHI: “Ame Onna”

By Fernando Nunez | Music | August 22, 2025

Erika Dohi’s “Ame Onna” unfolds like a gentle rain—delicate, reflective, and cleansing. Drawing from the Japanese image of the “rain woman,” a folkloric figure associated with sorrow and renewal, the song meditates on impermanence, resilience, and the quiet permission to feel deeply. With lyrics that weave between Japanese and English, Dohi explores cycles of life and loss: flowers that fade so new ones may bloom, tears once held back finally allowed to fall.
