Autumn foliage subjects by Hasui are popular but trade at a slight discount to his snow and rain scenes — the seasonal color is inherently pleasing but less technically demanding than atmospheric precipitation effects. Pre-war lifetime editions command the strongest premiums; combined subjects (autumn foliage with rain, twilight, or temple architecture) approach rain and night scene pricing. Pre-war lifetime editions bearing the Watanabe copyright seal (A through G types, 1926–1944) are the most desirable.
Yukadi Falls at Nikko are among the smaller waterfalls in the wider Nikko area, the cascade falling through a forested volcanic valley outside the main shrine complex. This 1941 print likely shows the falls in an unnamed season — the white water descending through dark rock with the surrounding forest in summer green or autumn color. Nikko's waterfalls, of which Kegon is the most famous, gave Hasui a series of increasingly minor subjects as he worked outward from the main shrine precinct.
