Typical Price
From an untitled series depicting the Mitsubishi Villa in Fukagawa, this snow scene shows a guest house overlooking a garden pond. Lifetime editions bring $600-$3,000. The Mitsubishi Villa series is lesser-known compared to Hasui's major travel and Tokyo sets, and prints from this group carry a certain rarity appeal. The snow composition is among the finest in this small series.
