$300–$3,000. Common illustrations: $300–$800. Key value factors: Iwata's stylish modern women prints bridge illustration and fine art. Original prints command more than reproductions.
Bijin with Fan is a companion subject to Iwata's other fan-and-beauty compositions, though each variation explores a different relationship between woman and object. In this [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock, the fan likely occupies a different position or state, perhaps open where another version shows it closed, or held at a contrasting angle. The slight shift in title, with rather than and, may signal a closer identification between subject and accessory. Iwata works within the [bijin-ga](/glossary/bijin-ga) tradition where such distinctions carry meaning, each arrangement of figure and prop creating a distinct emotional register.
