$500–$5,000. Common mountain prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Azechi's cheerful mountain prints have consistent demand. Larger and more complex compositions are most valued.
Mount Aso in Kyushu—the vast volcanic caldera in central Kyushu that contains one of the world's largest active volcanic craters—gave Azechi a mountain subject quite different from the rocky alpine peaks of the Honshu ranges. Aso's dramatic volcanic landscape, with its steaming fumaroles, sulfurous vents, and the vast scale of its outer caldera wall, was an extreme alpine environment of a different geological order, offering his bold visual style a terrain of dramatic color and form.
