Typical Price
The vivid red garment in this composition showcases the rich pigments achievable in early Watanabe printings. Capelari's figure studies were the first shin-hanga prints Watanabe published, beginning in 1915. Pre-earthquake editions with strong, unfaded color are especially valued at $4,000-$10,000. Post-earthquake reprints range $1,800-$4,000.
