From the Selection of Views of Japan series, this print depicts the post town of Suhara along the old Nakasendo road in Kiso. Lifetime editions sell for $500-$2,500. The Kiso Valley's preserved Edo-period post towns have strong appeal among collectors interested in historical Japanese landscapes, and Hasui's rendering captures the narrow valley's intimate atmosphere.
