Typical Price
Ueno's Toshogu Shrine, nestled within the park complex, is captured here with the architectural precision that characterizes Kasamatsu's shrine and temple subjects. Watanabe lifetime editions sell for $800-$2,200. The ornate gold-leaf details of the actual shrine translate into rich color in the woodblock medium, and impressions with well-preserved metallic pigments are especially prized.
