Typical Price

"Object A" reflects Onchi's interest in still-life subjects reimagined through an abstract lens. As the father of the sosaku-hanga movement, every print he made was entirely self-produced. Editions were tiny, rarely surpassing 20-30 impressions. Collectors should expect $1,500-$7,000, though pieces with strong provenance fetch more.

Description

One of Onchi's experimental late works incorporating non-traditional materials. Abstract forms created using cardboard, leaves, and string as printing matrices alongside conventional woodblocks.
