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.
This entry in Taisui's catalog appears to be a record sourced from the Japanese Art Open Database (JAODB), a digital repository that aggregates metadata about Japanese art holdings across multiple institutions. As a woodblock print attributed to Inuzuka Taisui, it belongs to the body of [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) botanical and nature subjects the artist produced during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Without a descriptive title, the specific subject remains unconfirmed, though it almost certainly depicts a flower, plant, or bird consistent with the [kacho-e](/glossary/kacho-e) tradition that defined Taisui's output. The print's inclusion in the JAODB indicates that it is held by at least one Japanese museum or institutional collection, lending it scholarly provenance even if publication details have not been fully cataloged.
