Typical Price
Zojo-ji Temple in snow is one of Koitsu's most dramatic and popular compositions. The massive temple gate against falling snow creates a powerful visual statement that rivals Hasui's treatment of the same subject. Snow scenes are the most valued category alongside night views. Lifetime editions command $2,000-$4,500, and even posthumous reprints fetch $800-$2,000.
