Typical Price
Matsushima — one of Japan's Three Great Views — has inspired artists for centuries, and Asano's rendition captures the pine-studded islands scattered across Matsushima Bay. This is a subject with enduring popularity, and standard editions typically sell for $150-$500. Asano's treatment of the complex interplay between water, rock, and pine foliage demonstrates confident handling of a demanding landscape.
