Matsumoto

Typical Price

Matsumoto captures the famous black castle in Nagano Prefecture, one of Japan's most photogenic surviving fortresses. Toshi Yoshida's rendering emphasizes the castle's distinctive dark walls reflected in the surrounding moat. Studio editions sell for $400-$1,100, and jizuri impressions command $800-$2,000. Castle subjects by the Yoshida family maintain consistent demand, and Matsumoto's dramatic appearance makes this a particularly desirable example.
