Typical Price
Ki-no-Matsushima, the pine-covered islands near Wakayama, evoke the famous Matsushima in Miyagi but with a distinctly Kansai-region character. Asano's rendering of the scattered pine islands against open water demonstrates his comfort with broad, open compositions. This print typically commands $150-$500 on the secondary market.
