Key value factors: As self-carved and self-printed works, sosaku-hanga value is tied to the artist's reputation and edition size. Larger formats, earlier editions, and historically significant works command the highest prices.
A seventh untitled print by Aoyama Masaharu. The exceptional technical mastery noted by scholars who have studied his work — in carving, printing, and compositional design — is evident even in works whose subjects cannot be identified from existing records. The quality of line and surface in his prints speaks to a craftsman who maintained exacting standards throughout a long career, never settling for technically adequate work when technically excellent work was achievable.
