$200–$2,000. Common Kyoto views: $200–$500. Key value factors: Kotozuka's Kyoto prints are popular and affordable. Seasonal temple scenes and garden views are most sought after.
Labeled "Limited Edition," this circus print represents one of Kotozuka's more unusual subjects — a departure from his characteristic Kyoto temple and garden landscapes toward the world of popular entertainment. The circus, whether a Japanese traveling show or an imagined Western one, offered a subject full of color, movement, and the human body in extremis. The limited edition designation suggests this was a special print outside his regular publication practice, perhaps produced for a specific occasion or patron.
