Key value factors: As self-carved and self-printed works, sosaku-hanga value is tied to the artist's reputation and edition size. Larger formats, earlier editions, and historically significant works command the highest prices.
A landscape from the "Views of Tokyo" series (Tokyo fukei hangashu) — Kazuma's landmark 1916 series that established him as Japan's preeminent lithographer and one of the founding voices of [sosaku-hanga](/glossary/sosaku-hanga) — is rendered here with the direct observation and Western-influenced atmospheric handling that made the series so influential. The specific Tokyo view captured in this print, while unspecified, would have been selected for the same qualities that guided all his urban landscape choices: water, bridges, the human-scaled cityscape of a city in transition between its Edo past and its modern present.
