Typical Price
Late autumn at Imaibashi bridge captures the melancholy beauty of falling leaves reflected in water. This Watanabe-published scene sells for $800-$2,200 in lifetime editions. Autumn subjects are particularly prized in Japanese aesthetics for their association with mono no aware, the poignant awareness of impermanence.
