The work Fujiwara Yasumasa gekka roteki zu (Fujiwara Yasumasa plays the flute by moonlight) by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was worth USD 47,880.00 (€ 44,039.74) to a buyer in March this year. This price was achieved in the auction Japanese and Korean Art at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 15,000.00 many times over.
