$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 full moon ascends above the Nezu Gongen Shrine in the hilly Yanaka district of Tokyo, its light catching the stone torii and lanterns while the surrounding trees absorb the remaining daylight. The Nezu Shrine — one of Tokyo's oldest, dating to the early eighth century — occupies a hillside site that creates a dramatic relationship between the low shrine buildings and the sky above. Kasamatsu's moon rising over this ancient precinct conflates religious architecture with the timeless cycle of lunar passage.
