Typical Price
Hasui's morning view of Mount Fuji, suffused with early light, is a classic shin-hanga subject. Lifetime editions range from $500-$2,500. Fuji subjects by Hasui carry automatic collector interest given the mountain's iconic status, and morning light compositions benefit from warm color palettes that translate well to woodblock printing. Posthumous editions sell for $300-$800.
