Typical Price
Hasui's nocturnal rendering of Mount Fuji reflected in Lake Ashino is a striking composition. Night scenes by Hasui typically bring $600-$3,000 for lifetime editions. The technical challenge of printing deep, rich darks while preserving the moon's luminosity makes fine impressions of this design particularly desirable.
