With only 14 completed designs, all Goyo prints are intrinsically scarce. Non-bijin subjects (landscapes, still life) tend toward the lower end of his market but remain far above typical shin-hanga prices. Christie's estimated his "Mount Ibuki in Snow" at $5,000–$10,000 in early 2026.
A print from Hara Shobo — one of the important publishers in the shin-hanga movement who worked with multiple artists including Goyo — representing either a specific work published under this imprint or a publisher's presentation piece. Hara Shobo played a significant role in the distribution and preservation of shin-hanga prints, and their publications helped establish the market for Goyo's work both in Japan and internationally. The publisher's involvement guaranteed a standard of production quality consistent with the artist's exacting requirements.
