$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Fujita's contemplative prints appeal to collectors of contemporary Japanese printmaking.
Daichi — Earth — is among Fujita's most elemental titles, directing attention to the ground itself as subject rather than the trees, paths, and mountains that typically populate his landscapes. Earth in its geological sense: the layered, ancient substance beneath the thin skin of topsoil and vegetation, with its striations and densities visible in eroded riverbanks, road cuts, and cultivated fields. Fujita's abstract approach to this primal subject likely emphasizes texture and tonal depth over any representational specificity.
