$1,000–$6,000. Common subjects: $1,000–$2,000. Key value factors: Nishijima's nostalgic Japanese village scenes appeal to collectors worldwide. Limited editions maintain value well.
A townscape or architectural subject of uncertain specific location, characteristic of Nishijima's broader engagement with traditional Japanese built environments beyond his most frequently depicted Kyoto scenes. The precise rendering of timber, tile, and stone — the vocabulary of pre-modern Japanese domestic architecture — is consistent with his characteristic approach regardless of specific geography.
