Typical Price
This Souvenirs of Travel Third Series print depicts the Kozu area of Osaka. Lifetime editions typically bring $400-$1,500. Osaka subjects are less common than Tokyo or Kyoto views in Hasui's body of work, and the urban character of this print offers a different flavor from his more pastoral compositions. Later Watanabe reprints sell for $300-$700.
