Rain in Shinnyodo

Description

The composition is typical of a number of designs by Takeji Asano, depicting a temple with a few people walking at a leisurely pace. 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.
