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 thirty-first and final untitled work by Nakajima Kiyoshi in this group. His sustained productivity — the titled series that earned him recognition as "the Painter of the Wind," the standalone compositions exploring individual aspects of natural experience, and this body of works awaiting full cataloguing — represents a career-long commitment to the woodblock medium as the ideal instrument for capturing the atmospheric beauty of the Japanese natural world. Wind, light, seasonal change, and the figures who experience them remain his enduring subjects.
