Beauty subjects are especially sought after in this category. 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 subtitle "女と女" (woman and woman) signals a composition placing two female figures in relation to each other — a subject less common in Takasawa's largely single-figure bijin-ga work. The inclusion of "oil painting" in the title suggests this may be a woodblock print reproduction or interpretation of one of his own painted works, reflecting the fluidity with which he moved between mediums. Two women share a space suffused with the quiet drama of female companionship.
