Typical Price
Miidera (Mii Temple) on the shores of Lake Biwa is rendered here under moonlight, with the lunar reflection likely playing across the nearby water. This nocturnal composition typically sells for $200-$600. The combination of historic architecture, moonlit water, and Asano's atmospheric printing technique produces one of his most contemplative works.
