$200–$2,000. Common flower prints: $200–$500. Key value factors: Rakuzan's botanical prints are beautifully produced and accessibly priced. Complete series sets are rare and more valuable.
A woodblock print evoking the second wave of autumn's arrival, when the initial flush of turning leaves deepens into the full blaze of crimson and gold. Tsuchiya Rakuzan, known for [kacho-e](/glossary/kacho-e) compositions that pair birds and insects with seasonal plants, likely depicts a subject drawn from the late-autumn garden, perhaps persimmons heavy on bare branches or chrysanthemums standing bold against cooling air. Rakuzan's prints in the [oban](/glossary/oban) format give generous space to these botanical and avian subjects, allowing the viewer to observe the fine veining of a leaf or the precise plumage of a bird at something close to life size.
