$1,000–$8,000. Common subjects: $1,000–$2,500. Key value factors: Hashimoto's bold castle prints are his most recognizable and collected works. Larger formats command premiums.
Garden No. 7, printed in 1960, is among Hashimoto's numbered garden series in which he systematically explored the formal possibilities of the traditional Japanese garden as a printmaking subject. The composition likely presents a view of stepping stones, clipped moss, and pruned plantings organized with the geometric rigor that characterized his approach to all architectural subjects. His use of ink and color on paper allowed him to render the interplay of stone textures, water surfaces, and living plant material with careful chromatic precision.
