Typical Price
Snow blanketing the famous Akamon (Red Gate) at Tokyo University is a beloved winter subject that Kasamatsu rendered with particular effectiveness. Watanabe lifetime editions sell for $1,200-$3,000. The contrast between the vermillion gate and white snow is visually striking, and this seasonal pairing makes the print a favorite among collectors of Japanese snow scenes.
