$300–$2,500. Snow and night scenes tend to command premium prices for this artist. Key value factors: Konishi's sosaku-hanga prints are modestly priced. Expressive, well-preserved works are most valued.
"No Series Kyoto Snow Le" is a [sosaku-hanga](/glossary/sosaku-hanga) print by Konishi Seiichiro, created during the Showa period. This abstract work reflects the artist's exploration of form, color, and texture through the printing medium.
Konishi Seiichiro approaches abstraction through the unique constraints and possibilities of printmaking, where the grain of the material, the pressure of the tool, and the interaction of pigment and paper all contribute to the final image. His work reflects the creative philosophy of the self-carved, self-printed sosaku-hanga tradition.
As a sosaku-hanga work — designed, carved, and printed entirely by the artist's own hand — this print embodies the creative philosophy that the printmaker's personal expression should permeate every stage of production, from concept to finished impression.
This print represents Konishi Seiichiro's contribution to the sosaku-hanga tradition during the Showa period. As with all works by this artist, it reflects both individual artistic vision and the broader cultural moment in which it was created. For collectors and admirers of Japanese printmaking, it offers a window into the sophisticated aesthetic world that produced some of the most beloved images in art history.
