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 print showing a pomegranate and grapes — the rich, autumnal still-life subject executed in ink on paper rather than color woodblock, suggesting a study or a graphic work rather than a polychrome print. The pomegranate and grapes together carry associations of abundance, autumnal harvest, and the visual pleasure of complex organic form — seeds and clusters — that challenged artists who worked primarily in landscape to represent the close-up complexity of botanical subjects.
