Typical Price
Kyoto's Yasaka Pagoda veiled in evening rain is a composition of extraordinary atmospheric depth. If published by Watanabe, lifetime editions command $1,500-$3,500 given the premium placed on rain scenes. The pagoda's silhouette emerging through the rain creates a sense of timelessness that makes this one of Kasamatsu's most emotionally resonant designs.
