$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.
Lake Nojiri, printed in 1956, presents a freshwater lake in Nagano Prefecture — a long-established summer resort area for both Japanese and foreign residents — with Hashimoto's characteristic geometric approach to water and landscape. The lake's still surface reflecting surrounding mountains or shoreline trees would have offered him an opportunity to explore the relationship between the actual landscape and its mirror image in the water, two geometric readings of the same visual information superimposed.
