Typical Price
Lake Kugushi in Wakasa Province appears in this entry from the first Souvenirs of Travel series. Lifetime editions bring $400-$1,500. This early series, published in the 1920s by Watanabe, predates the Great Kanto Earthquake for some designs. Look for the 6mm circular Watanabe seal on early impressions, which indicates a pre-earthquake or early post-earthquake printing.
