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.
Lake Shibayama in the Kaga district — the historic cultural heartland of what is now Ishikawa prefecture, home to Kanazawa and the artistic traditions of the Kaga domain — is depicted in this landscape. Kaga's artistic heritage was distinctive, and a lake in this region would carry associations with the refined aesthetic culture of the former domain. Henmi's landscape renders the still water and surrounding terrain with the lyrical restraint characteristic of his best nature subjects.
