$500–$8,000. Common later works: $500–$2,000. Key value factors: Hagiwara's abstract works are collected by both Japanese print and modern art collectors.
Longing at Kagosaka (1981–86) — Kagosaka being a pass or hillside location in the Fuji region — captures the peculiar emotional quality of a landscape view that inspires a reaching toward something not quite attainable. The "longing" of the title introduces a psychological dimension to what might otherwise be simply a landscape print, and the specific location grounds this emotion in a real place where Hagiwara apparently experienced it. The [sosaku-hanga](/glossary/sosaku-hanga) artist's freedom to title his own work allowed him this kind of subjective-confessional framing that the commercial print world discouraged.
