Typical Price
A tea shop near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto provides a charming genre element within a landscape setting. The human presence adds warmth and narrative to the architectural subject. Koitsu learned his atmospheric technique from Kiyochika, and genre scenes like this show the depth of that training. Lifetime editions fetch $1,200-$3,000; posthumous are $500-$1,500.
