Typical Price
Stone lanterns are a recurring motif in Japanese woodblock prints, and Asano's version brings his distinctively bold color treatment to this traditional subject. Likely set within a Kyoto temple or shrine compound, this composition typically sells for $150-$500. The interplay of weathered stone and surrounding vegetation shows Asano's sensitivity to texture.
