Typical Price

September's contribution to the monthly Kyoto series depicts the Old Imperial Palace, seat of Japan's emperors for over a millennium before the move to Tokyo. Tokuriki renders the expansive palace grounds with characteristic restraint and architectural precision. This Unsodo-published print typically sells for $75-$250, positioned at the more affordable end of the series due to the quieter autumn subject.
