Typical Price
Fujisawa station, rendered in Sekino's bold sosaku-hanga style, offers a modern take on the view that Hiroshige made famous over a century earlier. The artist personally carved and printed every impression in the series. This station typically sells for $300-$1,200, with the Fujisawa subject carrying name recognition that supports demand.
Description
The Fujisawa station view — looking across the flat coastal plain of Sagami Province toward the distant landmarks of the route — appears in this print from Sekino's Fifty-three Stages series. Fujisawa's station prints across multiple artists' Tokaido series often emphasize the Enoshima pilgrimage route that branched off here, or the long straight road bordered by the susuki grass the region was known for.
