The Souvenirs of Travel series (First, Second, and Third Series, 1919–1922) represents Hasui's earliest major publishing relationship with Watanabe Shozaburo. Pre-earthquake impressions (before September 1923) are the rarest — the Kanto Earthquake destroyed Watanabe's workshop and most original blocks, making surviving early round-seal impressions exceptionally valuable at $2,500–$8,000. Post-earthquake editions were printed from recut blocks and trade at lower prices.
Kamoson Village on Sado Island, from the Souvenirs of Travel, Second Series published on 17 August 1921, depicts a village in the Kamo district of Sado Island — the rural community on the shores of Lake Kamo where traditional farmhouses and rice paddies defined the island's interior landscape. The Kamoson (Kamo village) subject shows Sado's agricultural character rather than its famous mining or Noh theater associations, capturing the quiet domestic life of the island's farming communities in summer. The specific August date suggests field documentation during a summer travel circuit of Sado.
