Typical Price
"Morning Glories" (asagao) is a botanical subject demonstrating Shoun's range beyond his celebrated figure series. Flower prints by Shoun are uncommon and appeal to collectors of Japanese botanical art. Pricing is generally more modest than his figure work, with pre-earthquake editions at $600-$1,500 and later impressions at $300-$700. Color vibrancy is essential to value.
Description
A woman tending morning glory vines in her garden, the blue and purple flowers in full bloom.
