$400–$3,000. Snow and night scenes tend to command premium prices for this artist. Key value factors: Okuyama's prints are relatively affordable. Bold, well-preserved examples are most valued.
"Unknown, Snow Scene 2" is the second of Okuyama's unidentified winter landscapes — a snow scene whose specific location has not been documented but whose visual character reflects his mastery of the genre. The simplified, high-contrast palette of snow landscapes — white ground, dark accents, grey sky — gives these works a formal concentration that Okuyama's more colorful seasonal landscapes did not always achieve. Whether depicting a rural scene, a temple precinct, or a village under snow, this work reflects his most direct engagement with the Japanese winter.
