Typical Price
Byodo-in Temple's Phoenix Hall under moonlight is among the most romantic subjects in Asano's catalog, with the elegant structure and its pond reflection doubled in silvery lunar tones. This nocturnal rendering of one of Japan's most famous buildings generally commands $300-$800, placing it at the higher end of his price spectrum. The combination of architectural fame and atmospheric night printing drives collector demand.
