$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.
Village in Deep Interior—a settlement penetrating far into mountain terrain, beyond the more accessible villages at the mountain approaches—depicts the communities that existed at the most remote points of the inhabited alpine world. The deep interior village was the far edge of settlement, surrounded by terrain that most people never visited, its residents shaped by the isolation in ways that fascinated Azechi as a documentarian of mountain culture as well as mountain landscape.
