$400–$3,000. Common subjects: $400–$1,000. Key value factors: Okuyama's prints are relatively affordable. Bold, well-preserved examples are most valued.
"Harvard Art Museum" is a unique subject within Okuyama's oeuvre — a Western institution rather than a Japanese landscape or sacred monument — suggesting this print was likely produced in connection with an exhibition, acquisition, or collaboration involving the Harvard Art Museums and their collection of Japanese prints. The unusual subject gives the print a biographical specificity: this was a moment in Okuyama's career when his work crossed into Western institutional contexts, acknowledged by the institution through this commissioned or commemorative image.
