$1,000–$8,000. Common prints: $1,000–$2,500. Key value factors: As a major nihonga painter, Domoto Insho's prints are valued both as artworks and as affordable entry points to his oeuvre. Paintings command far higher prices.
This [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock print bears a title indicating multiple artists rather than a specific subject, suggesting it may be a collaborative work, a compilation reference, or a catalog attribution that has replaced the original title. Domoto participated in group projects and print albums that brought together several artists under a common theme, and this print may belong to such a collection. Multi-artist albums were common in the [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) world, with publishers assembling portfolios of views by different artists to offer collectors variety within a unified format. Domoto's contribution to such a project would typically feature a Kyoto subject rendered in his characteristic blend of Nihonga refinement and woodblock craft. The print represents the collaborative dimension of a practice often discussed in terms of individual artistic achievement.
