Typical Price
Hasui depicts the cascading Senju Waterfall at Akame, one of the famous forty-eight waterfalls in the Akame gorge. Lifetime editions sell for $500-$2,500. Waterfall compositions challenge the printer to render flowing water convincingly through woodblock technique, and this design demonstrates the collaborative mastery of Hasui as designer and the Watanabe workshop's carvers and printers.
