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 undocumented woodblock print from Inuzuka Taisui's catalog sits within the broader context of [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) [kacho-e](/glossary/kacho-e) production during the late 1920s and early 1930s. The collector market for these prints has grown considerably since their original publication, with works by even lesser-known kacho-e artists now sought by specialists and institutions. Taisui's prints appear occasionally in auction records and dealer catalogs, typically identified by their botanical subjects rather than formal titles. The artist's consistent focus on the flower-and-bird genre, combined with the technical quality of the shin-hanga production system, has ensured that his works maintain both aesthetic and market value despite the limited biographical information available about the artist himself.
