$200–$1,500. Common prints: $200–$500. Key value factors: Ebina's prints are modestly priced and accessible to beginning collectors of Japanese creative prints.
"Suetsuma Hana" — a transliteration variant of "Suetsumuhana" (Chapter 6) — is another rendering of the eccentric, red-nosed princess in her decaying mansion. The alternate romanization suggests this may have been catalogued from a different publication or documentation source than Ebina's other Suetsumuhana print. The subject is among the most unusual in the Genji novel: comic in its character portrait, compassionate in its treatment of a woman preserved in amber by her own eccentricity, and moving in its meditation on loyalty and neglect.
