41 × 28 cm Description Original Japanese shin-hanga woodblock print by Takeji Asano, depicting Higashi-Honganji Temple in Kyoto during rainfall, with figures holding umbrellas. The scene captures the quiet atmosphere of postwar Kyoto and reflects Asano’s refined architectural compositions and subtle use of weather effects. The title appears in English in the lower margin and in Japanese within the image, a format commonly used for Japanese prints produced for the international market in the postwar period.
