$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.
The 1945 Mud House from the Manchuria series depicts the vernacular building type of the occupied territories—the packed-earth construction that characterized rural architecture across Manchuria, its thick walls and flat roof adapted to the continental climate's extreme winters and dry summers. Azechi's Manchurian prints documented a radically different built environment from the wooden mountain architecture of Japan, his bold simplified style finding in the earthen walls' massive geometry a different but equally compelling formal subject.
