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.
An untitled woodblock print from Henmi's sosaku-hanga practice. Henmi's international recognition — his 1934 Paris exhibition — was unusual for an amateur Japanese printmaker, and it attests to the genuinely high standard of his self-printed work. These untitled prints are part of the output that earned him that recognition, works made in the private hours of a life otherwise given to accounting, poetry, and the quiet rhythms of a creative practice sustained alongside ordinary working life.
