$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.
A second snowy village print — designated as a woodblock to distinguish it from another version possibly in a different medium — explores the same rural winter subject with the specific qualities that the woodblock process brings: the layered color printing that can achieve the blue-white of deep shadow in snow, the carved lines that define the architecture's edges against the accumulated white. The print extends Kotozuka's rural engagement beyond his characteristic architectural landscapes into the inhabited countryside of traditional Japan.
