$1,000–$15,000. Common landscapes: $1,000–$3,000. Key value factors: Kasamatsu's early shin-hanga works (pre-1955) tend to be more valued than his later sosaku-hanga production.
The formal gate of Engakuji Temple in Kamakura stands beneath old trees, its weathered wood and swept roof suggesting centuries of quiet use. Kamakura's Zen temples drew Kasamatsu repeatedly for their combination of architectural gravity and natural setting — the valleys between the surrounding hills shelter these medieval foundations in a landscape that has changed little since the Kamakura shogunate established the city as Japan's military capital. The gate offers a focused architectural study within that larger landscape context.
