Typical Price

Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei receives a moody rain treatment in this composition, with the ancient Tendai Buddhist monastery shrouded in mountain mist and precipitation. This is a less commonly seen Asano subject compared to his downtown Kyoto views, and prices typically fall between $150-$500. The remote mountain setting adds a contemplative dimension to the rain motif.
