$400–$3,000. Common subjects: $400–$1,000. Key value factors: Okuyama's prints are relatively affordable. Bold, well-preserved examples are most valued.
"Shungo Sekiguchi" may depict the Sekiguchi area in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo — home to the Zenpukuji temple and its grounds, which included a notable pond — rendered in a spring (shun) atmosphere of new green and fresh seasonal character. Alternatively, the title may refer to a specific person or named view. Okuyama's engagement with Tokyo's quieter, less celebrated landscape subjects — rivers, ponds, temple grounds — reflects his commitment to the principle that the personal and local were worthy subjects for the sosaku-hanga artist's full attention.
