August in Tokuriki's Kyoto series features the Daimonji bonfire blazing on the mountainside, viewed from the Sanjo Bridge over the Kamo River. This annual Obon festival event is one of Kyoto's most dramatic nighttime spectacles. The nocturnal palette sets this apart from other months in the set, and Unsodo-published impressions generally sell for $75-$300.
