A tram at Shinagawa captures Tokyo's modernizing transportation network with the energy and movement that characterize Oda's best urban work. Streetcar subjects are rare in Japanese woodblock prints, giving this design unusual appeal among collectors of transportation art and Taisho-era modernism. Watanabe editions typically sell for $1,000-$2,800; self-published sosaku-hanga versions may range $800-$3,500.
