$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Hanko's refined nihonga-style prints bridge traditional painting and modern printmaking. His early death at 47 limits available works.
Mount Karabitsu is a peak in the Hida Mountains of Gifu Prefecture, a location associated with alpine scenery in central Honshu. The appearance of a mountain subject in Hanko's primarily figure-focused oeuvre suggests either a landscape commission or a work combining figure with landscape. Karabitsu Mountain's remoteness and relative obscurity as a subject for a Meiji Tokyo artist makes this an intriguing outlier in his body of work — possibly connected to a specific literary or journalistic commission requiring landscape treatment.
