$200–$2,000. Common Kyoto views: $200–$600. Key value factors: Ito Nisaburo's Kyoto prints are popular and accessible. Night scenes, snow views, and cherry blossom compositions command premiums.
Lake and Waterfalls in woodblock — the finished printed version of the composition combining still water and falling water in a single landscape. The visual contrast between the lake's calm mirror surface and the waterfall's white turbulence creates the fundamental compositional tension of this subject, and Nisaburo's [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) technique renders both with equal sensitivity: the subtle gradations of color in the lake's reflection and the foam and mist of the waterfall requiring very different technical approaches.
