$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 port town of Shimoda at the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula — where Commodore Perry's fleet anchored in 1854 and the first American consul Townsend Harris resided — appears in a numbered edition suggesting this was a carefully controlled limited print run. Shimoda's combination of dramatic Pacific coastal scenery and historical significance as the opening point of Japan's engagement with the West gave the location layers of meaning beyond its landscape beauty, which Kasamatsu renders with characteristic atmospheric attention.
