$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Ono's socially conscious prints and urban scenes are valued for both artistic quality and historical interest.
Ono turns the most iconic of Japanese subjects — Mount Fuji at the moment of dawn — into something spare and modern. The print likely renders the mountain as a dark or rose-lit silhouette against a brightening sky, its flanks still in shadow as the first light catches the summit. Ono's approach to Fuji resists the romantic grandeur of earlier traditions, treating the mountain as a formal problem: how to make a familiar shape feel fresh through economy of means.
