The work Four wood block prints of actors portraied as silhouettes from the Makoto no tsuki hana no sugata-e series (defects) by Utagawa Yoshiiku was auctioned at Il Ponte in May 2018. It achieved a price of EUR 2,600.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 73 %. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Utagawa Yoshiiku achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Artisans And Events Of The Twelve Months in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 52,500.00 (€ 44,707.49).
