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 Henmi woodblock, representative of his sustained practice as a self-printing artist working in the [sosaku-hanga](/glossary/sosaku-hanga) tradition. The movement's core principles — that the artist should conceive, carve, and print their own designs — distinguished its practitioners from the commercial woodblock world where artists, carvers, and printers were separate specialized roles. Henmi's adherence to these principles gave his prints their characteristic quality of personal directness.
