Typical Price
A clear winter day at Miyajima from the second Souvenirs of Travel series, showing the shrine island under fresh snow and bright skies. Lifetime editions sell for $600-$2,500. This fair-weather snow composition offers a different mood from Hasui's more common falling-snow scenes, with crisp shadows and bright sunshine creating an almost joyful winter atmosphere.
