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 untitled [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga) by Hirezaki Eiho (1881–1968), recorded without a descriptive title. Among the finest bijin-ga printmakers of his era, Eiho distinguished himself through a warmth of characterization that gave his female subjects genuine individual presence rather than the generalized idealization common in the genre. His nihonga training provided him with an unusually precise command of line and an understanding of how posture, gaze, and body language communicate interior states — qualities that made his prints sought after by collectors interested in psychological as well as aesthetic sophistication.
