$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Kaneko's vivid, pop-influenced prints have a wide international following. Colorful figure compositions are most popular.
Happi Girl, edition 117 of 200 from 1996, pairs the same happi coat subject with a girl figure, creating a companion piece to the Happi Boy series. The happi coat's bold graphic patterns — often featuring family crests, traditional motifs, or the name of a festival association — align naturally with Kaneko's own graphic print sensibility. His children in traditional festival dress embody a vision of Japanese popular culture as joyful, accessible, and alive rather than reverentially preserved.
Happi Girl was created by Kunio Kaneko (金子國義) in 117/200, 1996.
Happi Girl depicts children and daily life.
