Key value factors: As self-carved and self-printed works, sosaku-hanga value is tied to the artist's reputation and edition size. Larger formats, earlier editions, and historically significant works command the highest prices.
Mount Fuji rises above a tea farm, the terraced rows of low tea bushes in the foreground providing a distinctly regional agricultural context — the tea-growing districts of Shizuoka prefecture are among the areas where Fuji can be seen across a working landscape. Henmi's Fuji-from-tea-farm composition is unusual in its foreground specificity, the agricultural detail anchoring the iconic mountain in a particular local economy and seasonal labor practice. The green rows of tea in spring or early summer would be a striking foreground.
