Typical Price
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.
- Later impressions: $1,000–$3,000
- Good impressions: $3,000–$8,000
- Exceptional impressions: $8,000–$20,000
