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.
The nineteenth undocumented Kazuma print in the collection is unconfirmed as to its specific title, series, and subject. His engagement with Japanese urban and natural subjects across five decades produced a body of work whose full documentation remains a work in progress, and this print is one of the pieces that awaits further archival research to place it within his larger output. In the meantime, it represents the hand of Japan's premier lithographer applied to a subject that has not yet been recovered.
