$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.
A November 2010 woodcut and silkscreen print, this Diary entry records an early-winter day in what was likely Noda's home territory around Kashiwa or the greater Tokyo area. November 8th falls in the transitional period between autumn color and bare-branch winter, when the light takes on a particular clarity. Noda was seventy years old in 2010, and the Diary series had been running for over four decades — a sustained act of observation virtually without parallel in contemporary printmaking. The woodcut-silkscreen process remained consistent even as the artist aged, each print testifying to a continued commitment to looking, recording, and printing.
