Rain in Shinnyodo

Description

The composition of the print is typical for a number of designs by Takeji Asano, with a temple shown and a few people walking leisurely. Besides the difference in the places depicted, these designs are set apart by the different seasons of the scenes, with rain, snow or very bright or subtle early spring sunlight present. The current scene shows heavy rain on the Shinnyodo temple in Kyoto, in what is most likely late spring.
