Typical Price
The twilight sky above Suwa Shrine in the Nippori district reveals Kasamatsu's gift for capturing the fleeting beauty of dusk. This Watanabe-published print sells for $1,000-$2,500 in lifetime editions. The graduated sky tones are achieved through meticulous bokashi work, and impressions where the color transitions remain smooth and unfaded are most desirable.
