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 sunset glow seen from Tsukishima — the reclaimed island in Tokyo Bay — renders the industrial waterfront in the warm light of evening, the sky above the harbor turning orange and red while the factories and warehouses along the shore become silhouettes. The print may represent work by Takashi Ito rather than Henmi Takashi, suggesting a possible attribution question in the database. Either way, the Tsukishima sunset subject belongs to the tradition of Tokyo urban landscape documentation.
