Typical Price
Shinobazu Pond in Ueno, one of Tokyo's most beloved scenic spots, is rendered here in Hasui's characteristic nighttime palette. Lifetime editions range from $600-$2,500. This Tokyo landmark subject ensures steady demand, and the night atmosphere allows Hasui to explore deep tonal ranges. Look for the Watanabe seal variant to distinguish lifetime printings from posthumous editions priced at $300-$700.
