Typical Price
Moonlight at Yasaka likely captures the iconic Yasaka Pagoda in Kyoto's Higashiyama district bathed in silvery lunar glow. Asano's nocturnal scenes require especially precise bokashi shading to achieve convincing light effects, and this technical accomplishment is reflected in prices of $200-$600. Night scenes are among his most atmospheric and collectible subjects.
