$200–$2,000. Snow and night scenes tend to command premium prices for this artist. Key value factors: Kotozuka's Kyoto prints are popular and affordable. Seasonal temple scenes and garden views are most sought after.
Night rain on Kyoto's streets — rendered here in watercolour — captures the distinctive quality of the old city in wet weather: the reflections of paper lanterns and shop lights in the wet stone pavement, the sound of rain on tile roofs, the silhouettes of umbrellas moving through narrow lanes. Kotozuka's watercolour treatment of this subject would handle the reflective quality of rain-wet surfaces with the medium's characteristic transparency, the washes of color suggesting the dissolved, reflected world of a rainy Kyoto night.
