Typical Price
Rain falling on the grand Higashi Honganji Temple complex creates the atmospheric conditions Asano renders most skillfully — streaks of precipitation, glistening surfaces, and muted tones punctuated by dark architectural silhouettes. Prices for this composition generally range from $150-$500. The Honganji temples are among Kyoto's most imposing structures, and the rain only amplifies their grandeur.
