![[Toshagu Shrine, Ueno] by Inoue Yasuji — Japanese Woodblock print](https://data.ukiyo-e.org/famsf/images/3306201405530048.jpg)
$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.
The Toshogu Shrine at Ueno — the magnificent Edo-period mausoleum dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Tokugawa shogunate — is depicted here within the broader park complex that surrounded it. By the Meiji period, Ueno Park had become the city's first Western-style public park, and the Toshogu stood as a monument to the feudal order the new government had replaced. Yasuji renders the shrine's elaborate Chinese-influenced architecture with careful observation, recording its physical fabric as it transitioned from active religious site to historical monument.
