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.
"Pose" captures a figure arranged for contemplation rather than action, the body held in an attitude that suggests awareness of being seen. Takasawa's bijin-ga practice was always attentive to this quality — the moment when a woman composes herself, whether before a mirror or an implied viewer — and this print distills that awareness into a single still image. The Japanese subtitle ポーズ underlines the self-conscious theatricality at the heart of the subject.
