Typical Price
March's entry in the monthly Kyoto series focuses on plum blossoms at Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Kyoto's most celebrated plum viewing destination. Tokuriki's rendering of the early spring blossoms against the shrine architecture captures the transitional season beautifully. Unsodo-published impressions typically sell for $75-$300, with examples showing strong pink and white pigment saturation at the upper end of that range.
