$1,000–$8,000. Common diary prints: $1,000–$2,500. Key value factors: Noda's innovative diary-print concept has earned him major museum recognition. Earlier works and larger formats command premiums.
Located in Ueno — the Tokyo district famous for its park, zoo, and cluster of national museums — this February 1984 woodblock and silkscreen print places the Diary series in one of Japan's most culturally dense neighborhoods. A winter day in Ueno might record bare-branched trees along the park paths, museum facades, the wide stairs of the National Museum, or crowds bundled against the cold. The "Urban Scenes" subject tag confirms this as a cityscape rather than a domestic interior. Noda's combined printing technique gives the urban setting a layered quality, blending photographic detail with the handmade texture of carved wood.
