$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Fujita's contemplative prints appeal to collectors of contemporary Japanese printmaking.
Galloping Horses is one of Fujita's more unexpected subjects, given his characteristic focus on forested landscapes and mountain terrain. Horses in motion — particularly galloping — present a compositional challenge that requires the capture of dynamic energy rather than still observation. Whether treated abstractly or semi-representationally, galloping horses in Fujita's woodblock language would likely emphasize the rhythm of the motion, the pattern of hooves and manes, and the sense of unleashed force rather than anatomical precision.
