$500–$8,000. Common later works: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: His enormous output (lived to 102) means most works are accessible. Early black-and-white prints are most valued.
The landscape of Ikejiri in Setagaya — then a semi-rural western suburb of Tokyo — is rendered in Hiratsuka's 1922 woodcut style, capturing the urban fringe where agriculture and city met. Dating to his early period, this set of views documents a landscape that would be absorbed entirely into Tokyo's expansion within a generation. The prints are inadvertent historical records as much as artistic statements.
