$2,000–$15,000. Common subjects: $2,000–$5,000. Key value factors: Hamaguchi is regarded as one of the greatest mezzotint artists of the 20th century. His fruit and butterfly still lifes are most iconic and command the highest prices.
This woodblock print attributed to Hamaguchi Yōzō with his birth and death years in the title (1909–2000) likely functions as a commemorative or memorial print, possibly issued posthumously or as a late career retrospective work. Catalogued with a still-life subject, it probably reproduces or references one of his characteristic compositions—fruit, a vessel, or a similar domestic object—in the woodblock medium rather than his signature mezzotint. The inclusion of the artist's full dates in the title suggests this impression may have been produced or reissued in connection with his death in 2000. Woodblock still lifes in Hamaguchi's hand remain less documented than his mezzotint production, and this work may represent an edition produced by a publisher to make his imagery accessible to a broader audience outside the mezzotint collector market.
