Key value factors: Edition order (first Watanabe/Doi printing vs. posthumous reprints) is crucial. Snow scenes, night views, and bijin-ga typically command premiums. Publisher seals and artist signatures authenticate first editions.
An eleventh untitled [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga) by Hirezaki Eiho (1881–1968), representing a practitioner of the beautiful woman print who worked at the highest level of the genre's technical and aesthetic demands. The bijin-ga tradition requires mastery of the dressed female figure — the complex geometry of kimono drapery, the precision of hair arrangement, the psychological legibility of facial expression — and Eiho's nihonga training gave him resources for meeting these demands that distinguishes his work from contemporaries who approached the genre from a purely commercial standpoint.
