$200–$1,500. Common prints: $200–$500. Key value factors: Ebina's prints are modestly priced and accessible to beginning collectors of Japanese creative prints.
"Akashi" (Chapter 13) rendered here as "Print 5" in Ebina's Genji sequence represents the artist's illustration of Genji's exile on the Akashi coast — the storm-battered shore where political disgrace becomes the setting for new love and the generation of a daughter who will become Empress. The Akashi coast's distinctive coastal character — pine trees, the sound of waves, the sense of distance from the capital — gave Ebina rich material for a print that is simultaneously landscape, figure scene, and emotional portrait of exile.
