Typical Price
This twilight scene of the Furukawa embankment conveys Hasui's mastery of transitional light. Lifetime editions range from $500-$2,000. Dusk compositions by Hasui require exceptional printing to capture the subtle gradations between day and night, and prints with well-preserved bokashi in the sky area command higher prices.
