$500–$8,000. Snow and night scenes tend to command premium prices for this artist. Key value factors: Hagiwara's abstract works are collected by both Japanese print and modern art collectors.
Mount Fuji with a Coating of Snow (1991) captures the mountain in its most widely recognized seasonal state — the first autumn snowfall that dusts the upper slopes white while the lower mountain remains dark brown and green, the coating thin enough to reveal the mountain's structure beneath. Hagiwara's treatment emphasizes the contrast between the snow-dusted upper peak and the still-warm lower slopes, the gradation from white through grey to the colors of the un-snowed mountain below creating a composition of unusual tonal complexity. The "coating" of the title is precise and specific.
