Typical Price
One of Saito's most popular and widely reproduced images, the Kyoto maiko (apprentice geisha) bridges his landscape and figure work. Early impressions sell for $1,500-$3,500, while later pulls bring $600-$1,200. Saito re-editioned this design multiple times due to demand, so identifying the edition number is essential for valuation.
