Typical Price
Sanjusangendo, Kyoto's famous hall of a thousand Buddhas, is one of Asano's most frequently depicted subjects. This version typically sells for $250-$700. The temple's distinctive elongated architecture lends itself well to woodblock composition, and Asano renders it with a quiet dignity that collectors find appealing.
