Typical Price
From the third Souvenirs of Travel series, this print depicts the dramatic sea caves along the Oga Peninsula in Akita. Expect $400-$1,500 for lifetime editions. Geological formations and cave subjects are rare in Hasui's work, giving this coastal composition a distinctive character that stands apart from his more typical temple and village scenes.
