$500–$5,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Kitaoka's refined style has a modest but loyal collector base.
A fishing village in the bright light of afternoon is viewed here with the warm, attentive eye Kitaoka brought to coastal communities throughout his career. Numbered 13/210, indicating a print run of 210, the composition organizes the village's elements — boats, nets, low buildings, water — into a balanced arrangement that conveys the workaday beauty of a working harbor. The mid-afternoon light is rendered as a general brightness, the harsh shadows of noon softened into a more livable warmth.
