Typical Price
The Sacred Bridge (Shinkyo) at Nikko, set against the lush mountain landscape, demonstrates Koitsu's skill with verdant natural settings. The vermillion bridge amid greenery creates a vibrant color harmony. Lifetime Watanabe editions sell for $1,500-$3,500, while posthumous reprints are available for $500-$1,500. Bright, unfaded color is essential to value.
