Typical Price
A village road on Sado Island from the second Souvenirs of Travel series. Lifetime editions bring $400-$1,800. Sado Island's rural character provided Hasui with unpretentious subjects that showcase his sensitivity to ordinary Japanese village life. The island's isolation from the mainland adds a note of remoteness that appeals to collectors drawn to off-the-beaten-path compositions.
