Typical Price
From the Selection of Views of Japan series, this print shows Yasugi Kiyomizu Temple in Izumo Province, a San'in region counterpart to Kyoto's famous Kiyomizu-dera. Lifetime editions sell for $500-$2,500. The temple's hillside setting echoes the more famous Kyoto original, and Hasui's composition makes the most of the elevated vantage point overlooking the surrounding landscape.
