Typical Price
From the second Souvenirs of Travel series, this print depicts Takamatsu Castle in Sanuki Province on Shikoku. Lifetime editions bring $500-$2,000. Shikoku subjects are less frequently encountered than Honshu locations in Hasui's catalog, and castle compositions carry inherent appeal. The waterside setting of Takamatsu Castle offered Hasui opportunities for reflection effects.
