$200–$2,000. Common Kyoto views: $200–$500. Key value factors: Kotozuka's Kyoto prints are popular and affordable. Seasonal temple scenes and garden views are most sought after.
Arashiyama — the "Storm Mountain" district at the western edge of Kyoto, where the Oi River cuts through bamboo groves and forested slopes — is one of Kotozuka's most natural subjects. The area's combination of water, mountain, and famous vegetation (the bamboo grove, the cherry blossoms, the autumn maple) made it one of the most painted sites in Japanese landscape art. Kotozuka's print captures the atmosphere of this celebrated natural setting with the woodblock technique's capacity for rich, layered color.
