$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.
A pair of mallard drakes swim near a rocky coastal margin, their iridescent green heads catching light against the grey-green water of a sheltered cove. The coastal setting — unusual for mallards, which typically prefer freshwater — suggests a specific observation from one of Kasamatsu's coastal travels, perhaps a tidal inlet where birds had gathered. His depiction combines naturalist accuracy in the duck plumage with a broader atmospheric rendering of sea, rock, and sky.
