Typical Price

Rain on the sloping Kinokunisaka street is a masterful exercise in atmospheric mood. This Watanabe-published work combines the collectible rain theme with a recognizable Tokyo location. Lifetime editions typically sell for $1,500-$3,000. The wet pavement reflections and misty distance required layered printing that distinguishes early impressions from later, flatter reprints.

Description

A rainy scene of Kinokunisaka slope during the tsuyu season, with wet streets and umbrellas.
