$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.
Young women from the fishing community of Fukuura on the Noto Peninsula shore stand on a rocky beach, the grey-green Japan Sea stretching behind them. The title "Fukuura Hama no Musume" — daughters of Fukuura shore — situates the figures as representatives of a particular coastal way of life. Kasamatsu engages with the [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) tradition of bijin subjects here, but grounds the women firmly in a specific geographic and occupational context rather than idealizing them as generic beauties.
