Description
Drizzling Rain at Nijyo Castle is a companion work to Asano's other Nijo Castle rain composition, approaching the same famous architectural subject under comparable atmospheric conditions or from a different viewpoint. The shogunate's Kyoto residence, with its elegant palace buildings and extensive pine-shaded grounds, was among the major landmarks of the Kyoto he knew from childhood, and his repeated return to it in rain conditions suggests a particular fascination with how this architecturally rich complex was transformed by precipitation.
