$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Fujita's contemplative prints appeal to collectors of contemporary Japanese printmaking.
Odawarajyo — Odawara Castle — is the Japanese-titled variant of Fujita's castle subject, perhaps from a different moment in the series or a companion print with Japanese rather than English titling. The castle (jo) as architectural subject represents one of Fujita's departures from his characteristic forest and mountain themes, and the geometric strength of Japanese castle architecture — its layered rooflines, white plaster walls, and massive stone foundations — provides formal material suited to his abstract woodblock approach.
ODAWARAJYO (Odawara Castle) was created by Fumio Fujita (藤田不美夫).
