Key value factors: Edition order (first Watanabe/Doi printing vs. posthumous reprints) is crucial. Snow scenes, night views, and bijin-ga typically command premiums. Publisher seals and artist signatures authenticate first editions.
Another untitled print from Yuhan Ito's substantial body of undocumented work, this landscape brings his practiced eye for atmospheric composition to a scene rendered in muted, harmonious tones. The print is evidence of the quiet productivity that characterized Ito's career in the 1930s, during which he produced dozens of landscapes across a range of subjects and formats, not all of them formally titled or retained in institutional collections with complete documentation.
