Typical Price
Depicting the Kansanomiya Shrine at Lake Tazawa in Akita Prefecture, this third Souvenirs of Travel print combines a lakeside shrine with mountain scenery. Lifetime editions sell for $400-$1,500. Tohoku subjects from the Third Series offer distinctive regional character, and Hasui's treatment of remote northern shrines appeals to collectors drawn to Japan's less-touristed landscapes.
