$2,000–$15,000. Common subjects: $2,000–$4,000. Key value factors: As a living artist continuing the shin-hanga tradition, Binnie's prints are investment-quality. Limited editions and larger formats are most valued.
From Binnie's exploration of historical [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga) idioms, this print reimagines a "Modern Girl" of 1920 — the Taisho-era moga who shocked and fascinated Japan with her Western fashions, bobbed hair, and jazz-age confidence. The title "Flowers of a Hundred Years" situates this figure a century back from Binnie's own time, and the composition pays homage to Hashiguchi Goyo and Ito Shinsui while introducing the contemporary perspective of a Scottish artist who came to this tradition from outside it.
