Typical Price
The ornately carved Yomei Gate at Nikko's Toshogu Shrine mantled in fresh snow is a subject that perfectly marries architectural splendor with seasonal beauty. Watanabe lifetime editions sell for $1,200-$3,000. The elaborate gate carvings demanded exceptional skill from the woodblock carver, and early impressions show a level of detail that later printings gradually lose.
