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.
A third iteration in the young woman dressing series, this print continues Takasawa's sustained investigation of a single intimate moment. The repetition across the three extant versions is itself meaningful — a declaration that the subject is inexhaustible, that each viewing reveals something the others did not. Working through the same theme multiple times was common practice in the woodblock tradition, and Takasawa engages with that tradition while pushing it toward more personal territory.
