$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.
Small Path in Garden, printed in 1970 as an artist's proof, presents the narrow walkway that winds through a traditional Japanese garden — the komichi that appeared as a formal series subject the same year. The artist's proof designation indicates this was a working impression made for Hashimoto's own review rather than for distribution, giving it a particular intimacy and directness. The garden path as subject invited his characteristic attention to how built structure — the stones, their spacing, their relationship to the moss or gravel surrounding them — organized movement through a composed landscape.
