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.
This woodblock print by Fujiki Kikumaro carries the artist's own name as its title, suggesting it may serve as a representative work, an artist's proof, or a self-referential piece within Kikumaro's output. The print exhibits the refined carving and controlled color application associated with traditional Japanese woodblock methods. Kikumaro's work occupies a space within the broader hanga tradition where technical precision in block-cutting and printing meets individual artistic expression. The composition, whatever its specific imagery, bears the stamp of a maker who understood the medium's requirements from carved block to finished impression.
