Typical Price
This third Souvenirs of Travel entry captures the marshy landscape of Karasunuma in Akita Prefecture. Lifetime editions range from $400-$1,500. Wetland and marsh subjects are unusual in Hasui's catalog, making this an atypical composition that appeals to collectors seeking variety. Well-printed examples with sensitive tonal gradation in the water and sky are preferred.
