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 seen from Nashigahara — a view of the mountain from the western approach, the pear-orchard plain (nashigahara) in Shizuoka prefecture offering a low-angle, agricultural foreground for the mountain's iconic form. Unlike the lake views from the Five Lakes district or the seaside views from the coast, a view of Fuji across an agricultural plain gave the mountain a different scale and character — closer and more intimate, the human-cultivated landscape of the orchards providing a domestic counterpoint to the mountain's volcanic grandeur.
