$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 work attributed to or associated with Inoue Yasuji himself, this print may represent a self-referential document, a memorial piece, or a record connected to the artist's brief but celebrated career. Yasuji died in 1889 at only twenty-five years of age, leaving behind a body of work that stands as an irreplaceable visual record of Meiji Tokyo. Whatever its precise subject, the print carries the quiet historical weight of an artist whose talent was extinguished at the threshold of full maturity.
