Typical Price
Maiko in Snow combines two beloved Japanese motifs — the apprentice geisha and a wintry Kyoto landscape — in a composition that bridges Asano's landscape and figure work. This print is among his more collectible subjects, typically selling for $200-$500. The juxtaposition of the maiko's colorful kimono against white snow exemplifies Asano's bold color sensibility.
