Typical Price
This street scene captures daily life in early 20th-century Japan through a Western artist's perspective. Capelari's genre scenes are particularly interesting for their outsider viewpoint on Japanese culture during a period of rapid modernization. Pre-earthquake editions bring $3,000-$7,000; later Watanabe reprints are available for $1,500-$3,000.
Description
A bustling Japanese street with shops and pedestrians, observed with the curiosity of a foreign traveler.
