Typical Price
Depicting Gion Bridge at Hondo in the Amakusa Islands, this Selection of Views of Japan print captures a remote Kyushu location. Lifetime editions sell for $500-$2,500. Southern Japan subjects are less frequently encountered in Hasui's work than his Kanto and Tohoku views, which can add a scarcity premium for collectors building comprehensive collections.
