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 set of woodblock prints by Doshun Mori, collected and presented as a group. Print sets were a common format in the Japanese hanga tradition, where artists or publishers assembled related images into portfolios for sale or exhibition. Mori's work often appeared alongside other printmakers in collaborative series documenting regional customs and scenic views of Japan. A set of his prints offers a concentrated look at his range of subjects and his skill in translating observed scenes into the flat, layered color planes of the woodblock medium.
