Typical Price
Matsushima -- one of Japan's three most celebrated scenic views -- under moonlight is a subject with deep cultural resonance. Watanabe lifetime editions sell for $1,200-$3,000. The pine-covered islands silhouetted against the moonlit bay demonstrate why this location has inspired Japanese artists for centuries, and Kasamatsu's version ranks among the finest modern interpretations.
