Typical Price
Chion-in, one of Kyoto's largest and most impressive temples, is shown here blanketed in snow with the massive sanmon gate likely visible in the composition. This variant typically sells for $150-$500. Asano's ability to convey the weight and silence of heavy snowfall transforms the familiar temple into something hushed and contemplative.
