Typical Price
Asakusa Temple at night is one of Oda's most atmospheric Tokyo subjects, capturing the ancient temple complex under electric illumination. As a pioneer who bridged lithography and woodblock printing, Oda brought a unique technical perspective to the cityscape genre. Watanabe-published editions typically sell for $1,200-$3,000. Self-published versions, if they exist for this design, may range differently.
