Typical Price

"Street Vendor" (yatai) captures the mobile merchants who were once fixtures of every Japanese neighborhood. This subject resonates with collectors drawn to scenes of daily life and urban culture. As part of the Occupations series, lifetime Watanabe editions are modestly priced at $500-$1,100. Posthumous editions at $200-$500 make this an accessible starting point for shin-hanga collections.
