$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.
Ueno Park — established in 1873 on the grounds of the former Kanei-ji temple complex — was Japan's first Western-style public park, and Yasuji documented it frequently as one of the new Meiji city's most significant civic spaces. The park grounds combined surviving temple structures with new museum buildings, a zoo, and concert venues, creating a hybrid space that embodied the Meiji synthesis of tradition and modernity. Yasuji's view of the park captures this eclectic character, the old temple landscape now serving the leisure needs of a modern urban population.
