$200–$2,000. Temple scenes are among the most popular subjects for this artist. Good temple/seasonal scenes: $500–$1,200. Key value factors: Kotozuka's Kyoto prints are popular and affordable. Seasonal temple scenes and garden views are most sought after.
Kamigamo Shrine — the Upper Kamo Shrine, one of Kyoto's oldest and most revered Shinto sites, situated where the Kamo River emerges from the mountains — presents Kotozuka with one of the city's most atmospherically distinctive sacred precincts. The shrine's wide gravel approaches, the stream that runs through the outer precinct, and the ancient cones of sand (tatesuna) before the inner sanctuary create a landscape of formal simplicity quite different from the dense temple architecture he more typically depicted. The 上賀茂神社 title underlines the subject's cultural importance.
