$1,000–$15,000. Snow and night scenes tend to command premium prices for this artist. Key value factors: Kasamatsu's early shin-hanga works (pre-1955) tend to be more valued than his later sosaku-hanga production.
A snow-hushed landscape — perhaps a village, garden, or road — settles into silence as evening deepens and flakes continue to fall. Kasamatsu was one of the foremost painters of snow atmosphere in twentieth-century Japanese printmaking, able to convey the specific quality of light that accumulates when white ground reflects white sky and all shadows turn blue. This evening scene captures the moment when snowfall transforms an ordinary scene into something luminous and still.
