Shotei's landscapes are his most widely available works. Signed lifetime editions with strong color and condition represent good collector value. Post-earthquake reprints lacking signatures and seals are common and trade at lower prices.
Moonlight illuminates the Arakawa River, creating a shimmering path of silver light across the dark water. Reeds and grasses line the riverbank, their forms silhouetted against the luminous surface. The deep blue of the night sky and the silver-white of the moon''s reflection on the water create a scene of serene nocturnal beauty.
