Typical Price
Higashi Honganji, one of Kyoto's most massive temple structures, is shown here under rainfall that transforms the vast courtyard into a reflective surface. This version of the subject typically commands $150-$500. Asano's rain technique creates a sense of humid atmosphere that envelops the enormous temple buildings in soft, diffused light.
