Rain at Asakusa Kannon Temple Tsuchiya Koitsu 1933 Art Poster
Rain sheets down over the vermilion gate of Asakusa Kannon Temple as a lone figure crosses with a blue umbrella. Koitsu’s 1933 night mood is unforgettable.
Description
Tsuchiya Koitsu's 1933 masterpiece 'Rain at Asakusa Kannon Temple' renders Tokyo's famous Senso-ji gate in deep crimson against a dark rain-lashed sky, doves scattering before the storm. The wet pavement shimmers with reflected light in this tour de force of shin-hanga atmosphere. Every streak of rain adds to the drama. A powerful piece for collectors of Japanese rain scenes and Tokyo landmarks.
