$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.
The date of this 2011 woodcut and silkscreen print — September 11th, in the United States — is impossible to read without invoking the tenth anniversary of the 2001 attacks. Created during a visit to America on that exact date, the print becomes a meditation on memory, commemoration, and the passage of time. Noda's Diary series treats every date equally, but certain dates carry cultural weight that transforms the act of recording into something more charged. The title's specification "in The United States" adds geographical precision to the temporal marker. As with all Diary entries, the woodcut-silkscreen technique filters lived experience through a deliberate, slow craft process.
