$1,000–$8,000. Common views: $1,000–$2,500. Key value factors: Inoue's Meiji-era Tokyo views, influenced by his teacher Kiyochika, have both artistic and historical value. His early death makes works scarce.
A small ferry crossing at Fujimi in the Honjo district of Edo, captured in Inoue Yasuji's characteristically clear and observational style. The print belongs to his celebrated "True Views of Tokyo" series documenting the city's waterways and neighborhoods during Japan's rapid Meiji transformation. Flat-bottomed river craft, figures on the bank, and the low horizon of the eastern lowlands give the scene a quiet, workaday dignity that distinguishes Yasuji's work from the more dramatic compositions of his teacher Kobayashi Kiyochika.
