Typical Price
A winter moonlight scene over the Toyama Plain, combining two elements Hasui handled with exceptional skill: cold moonlight and expansive landscape. Lifetime editions range from $700-$3,000. The print's horizontal emphasis and silvery palette create a meditative quality distinct from his more vertical urban compositions. Fine impressions with luminous moon effects and crisp horizon detail are most sought after.
