Typical Price
Abumi Promontory showcases Hasui's skill at rendering dramatic coastal scenery. Lifetime editions generally trade between $400-$2,000. Look for the Watanabe publisher's seal to distinguish lifetime printings from later posthumous editions, which typically sell for $300-$800. Strong bokashi gradation in the sky is a hallmark of superior impressions.
