Typical Price
Ukimi-do, the floating pavilion on Lake Biwa, takes on a transformed character under snowfall, with the structure appearing to hover above the frozen or snow-dusted water. This winter variant tends to sell for $200-$500, slightly above the non-snow version due to the added atmospheric drama. It is one of Asano's more poetic seasonal compositions.
