Typical Price
Hasui's depiction of Matsue in Izumo Province from the third Souvenirs of Travel series captures the atmospheric quality of this lakeside castle town. Lifetime editions range from $400-$1,500. Matsue held particular literary associations through Lafcadio Hearn, and Western collectors familiar with Hearn's writings sometimes seek out Hasui's views of the town.
