$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.
Man in Armor No. 19 (1963) continues Hagiwara's warrior series into a second year, the higher number indicating either a prolific series or a deliberate extension of the numbered catalog. By No. 19, the series had established its formal vocabulary — carved surfaces rendering the geometric complexity of armor plates, color building through multiple blocks to create the lacquered depth of traditional military equipment. The warrior in armor, simultaneously human presence and abstract formal construction, was a subject that sustained Hagiwara's interest across the crucial early period of his mature style.
