Typical Price
A moonlit view of Matsue from the third Souvenirs of Travel series, with the moon casting a soft glow over the Izumo landscape. Lifetime editions bring $500-$1,800. Moonlight subjects are among Hasui's most poetic compositions, and this design benefits from the artist's mastery of printing luminous night effects. The hazy atmosphere gives this print particular romantic appeal.
