Koitsu's daytime landscapes and non-nocturnal scenes are less common on the primary market but still reflect his mastery of atmosphere and color. Values have risen steadily over the past decade.
Morigasaki Coast (Morigasaki kaigan) appears in this 1920 [oban](/glossary/oban) print — one of Koitsu's early large-format works — as a vigorous coastal scene, the rocky promontory battered by surf under a sky that may be clear or stormy. The 1920 date places this firmly in the early [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) period, before Koitsu had fully developed his signature atmospheric style, and the oban format indicates a more formal presentation than his later standard prints. The work shows his starting point before the mature atmospheric language of his 1930s masterpieces.
