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.
A ferry at Odai in Tokyo — a second rendering of the Odai ferry subject that Henmi also documented under the title "Ferry at Odai, Tokyo." The repetition of this subject may represent a different compositional approach or atmospheric treatment of the same crossing, the ferry at a different time of day or in different weather conditions. Henmi's sustained documentation of Tokyo's water crossings gave these vanishing modes of transport the weight of historical record, the flat-bottomed ferries that once connected the city's neighborhoods preserved through his woodblock prints.
