Typical Price
Moonlight over Ninomiya Beach in spring creates a meditative coastal night scene. Lifetime editions range from $600-$3,000. The combination of spring atmosphere, moonlight, and an oceanic setting produces one of Hasui's more unusual nocturnal compositions, distinct from his better-known lake and river moonlight subjects. Prints with luminous moon effects and tonal depth in the sea are most valued.
