$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.
Unknown Red Mountain—a mountain composition defined primarily by the unexpected warm color of its primary subject—shows Azechi departing from the blue-white-grey palette of his snow and ice subjects for the warm ochres and vermilions of volcanic terrain, sunset illumination, or pure chromatic invention. The red mountain might be a volcanic peak whose mineral deposits colored its rock, or a mountain at sunset when the horizontal light turned the snow's reflective surface to warm rose and orange.
