Intimate grooming scenes were central to Capelari's figure studies and among the first bijin-ga subjects published in the shin-hanga movement. This design's art-historical significance as a pioneering shin-hanga print adds considerable value. Pre-earthquake first editions reach $5,000-$10,000; post-earthquake reprints sell for $2,000-$4,000.
