$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.
The Sun over Fuji (1990) renders the relationship between Japan's greatest mountain and the sun that defined its most famous view — the rising sun over Fuji's profile at New Year was a sacred image in the Shinto tradition, the mountain and the sun combined in a moment of national and spiritual renewal. Hagiwara's treatment approached this iconographically charged subject through his abstract color technique, the solar disc and the mountain's profile rendered as color relationships rather than documentary views. The 1990 date marks this as a work of his late-career engagement with the mountain.
