$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.
Soil (3) (Dojo [3]), Damp Zone (Shitchitai) from 1960 with edition 7/30 belongs to Hagiwara's Soil series — one of his most conceptually distinctive early bodies of work, in which the ground itself, in its various states of moisture, composition, and life, became the primary subject of artistic investigation. The "Damp Zone" subtitle specifies the ecological condition of the soil depicted: not dry upland soil or flood-saturated mud but the intermediate zone of marshland and wetland, rich with life and in constant flux. The edition stamp (7/30) marks this as a major collector's print.
