Typical Price

Plum Gateway frames a view through a traditional gate adorned with early spring plum blossoms, a subject rich in cultural symbolism. Studio editions are available from $900-$2,600, while jizuri impressions sell between $1,500-$3,800. Plum blossom subjects, while less commercially dominant than cherry blossoms, carry deep cultural resonance in Japanese art and attract connoisseur collectors.
