Typical Price
Toji Temple's iconic five-story pagoda — the tallest wooden tower in Japan — stands strikingly against a winter sky in this composition. Snow accumulating on the pagoda's successive roofs creates a layered visual rhythm that Asano renders with precision. This popular Kyoto subject generally sells for $200-$500.
