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 woman putting on a long underrobe — the nagajuban, worn beneath the outer kimono — in one of Goyo's most intimate dressing subjects from May 1920. The underrobe's significance in Japanese dress culture was considerable: it was the first garment donned, it determined the line of the collar visible above the outer kimono, and its color and pattern could be glimpsed at the hem as the wearer moved. Goyo's rendering of this usually invisible layer of feminine dress reveals his interest in the complete process of adornment rather than its final, public result.
