Typical Price

This ambitious multi-figure composition depicts puppeteer Kiritake Monjuro with the puppet Jihei, alongside other puppeteers manipulating Osui and Koharu. The complexity of the scene, drawn from the Bunraku classic Shinju Ten no Amijima, makes it one of Sekino's most elaborate theater prints. Prices range from $300-$800 given the composition's significance.
