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 body of work. His career spanned the extraordinary social transformations of the Taisho and early Showa periods in Japan — the rise of mass media, the great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, Japan's increasing militarism — and his prints document the landscapes and urban spaces of this period with the attentiveness of a poet-artist for whom observation was a form of ethical practice.
