$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.
No. 8 Inu (No. 8 Dog) from 1976 belongs to Hagiwara's animal series, in which individual animals were rendered with the same combination of observed naturalism and abstract interpretation that characterized his human figure work. The dog — simultaneously a domestic companion, a working animal, and a subject with deep roots in Japanese art from medieval scrolls to modern painting — appears here as one of a numbered series of canine subjects. Hagiwara's carved surfaces captured the texture of fur and the posture of animal attention with characteristic directness.
