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.
Yabakei valley in landscape with a peasant cart in the rain — a work from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century whose undated status places it across Goyo's entire creative period. The combination of the gorge landscape with rain and a human element (the peasant cart) creates a scene of atmospheric narrative: a traveler making his way through the dramatic scenery of the Yabakei gorge under adverse weather conditions. Bokashi shading creates the visual signature of Goyo's rain — the pervasive dampness that unifies sky, water, and wet rock.
