$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.
Shinobazu Pond in Tokyo is dated 1932 — early in Kasamatsu's most productive [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) decade — catching the water in the particular light of that season and time. The 1932 date places this among a cluster of important Tokyo landscape prints he produced for Watanabe, depicting familiar city landmarks with the atmospheric sensitivity that distinguished his urban work from straightforward topographic records. The lake's lotus beds and the distant shrine create a composition balancing urban geography with the stillness of water.
