About the print
Asano Takeji spent his long career printing Kyoto, and the rain scenes are what collectors look for first. Here the great two-storey gate of Higashi Hongan-ji rises out of a grey drizzle, its tiled roofs picked out in slate blue and its beams in rust brown, while a procession of umbrellas — pale blue, ochre, sage — moves along the wet approach below. Two figures come almost to the foreground, one under a yellow janome, and the puddled paving is carved in short flicked strokes that read as rain striking stone.
The whole sheet is worked in stipple. Sky, wall, road and grass are all built from a fine granular texture rather than flat colour, which is what gives an Asano rain print its particular soft, damp light. A leafless tree cuts vertically across the left, holding the composition together and keeping the eye from settling too quickly on the gate.
