Kiichi Asano's A Rainy Commencement Ceremony is a poignant gelatin silver print capturing a moment of resilience and tradition amid adversity. The photograph likely depicts a graduation ceremony unfolding under rain-soaked conditions, with students and attendees braving the weather, their figures possibly blurred by falling raindrops or reflected in wet surfaces. The monochromatic tones emphasize contrasts between dark umbrellas, wet ground, and the brightness of ceremonial attire, evoking a sense of nostalgia and quiet perseverance.
