Typical Price
From the second Souvenirs of Travel series, this print depicts part of Kyoto's Byodo-in temple at Uji. Lifetime editions sell in the $500-$2,000 range. The Byodo-in is one of Japan's most famous architectural subjects, and Hasui's interpretation benefits from strong collector interest in Kyoto temple views.
