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 snowy river — one of Goyo's winter landscape prints from 1920 depicting a Japanese waterway in its winter state, the banks and perhaps the surface partially covered with snow, the water running dark between white margins. The 1920 date places this among the winter subjects that Goyo produced intensively in the first months of that year alongside his Mount Ibuki and Sanjo Bridge works, suggesting a sustained engagement with winter landscape as a compositional and tonal challenge.
