Typical Price

The Great Temple in Madura (Madurai) is one of the most monumental architectural subjects in Yoshida's India and Southeast Asia series, depicting the towering gopuram entrance tower of the Meenakshi temple. Jizuri editions sell for $1,800-$5,000. The scale and intricacy of the Hindu temple architecture challenged Yoshida's technical abilities and produced a visually commanding print. Studio editions trade from $900-$2,500.
