Typical Price
Miyajima's iconic torii gate blanketed in snow makes this one of Koitsu's most visually dramatic compositions. The contrast of vermillion gate against white snow and grey winter sky is breathtaking. Snow scenes by Koitsu are especially sought after. Lifetime editions command $2,500-$5,000+, while posthumous reprints sell for $800-$2,000.
