$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 view of Ohashi Bridge from Mannenbashi captures one of the Sumida River's major crossings from the perspective of a second bridge, the layering of spans across the water creating a composition of geometric complexity. Mannenbashi and Ohashi were both significant crossings of the lower Sumida, serving the Fukagawa district's connection to the main city. Yasuji's double-bridge composition is characteristic of his interest in the structural drama of the river landscape, where repeated bridge forms and their reflections offered rich visual material.
