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 Lake Yamanaka — the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes at the mountain's northeastern base — its reflection visible in the calm water. Henmi's Fuji subjects are few but distinguished, the mountain's iconic form requiring the printmaker to find a personal angle rather than reproduce the countless existing views. From Yamanaka, the mountain appears broad and close, its slopes sweeping down to the lake's edge, the lake serving as mirror and foreground simultaneously.
