Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A complete set of six surimono of the series Warriors as the Six Famous Poets (Buke Rokkasen) by Yashima Gakutei was sold in the Fine Japanese Prints auction at Sothebys in London in December 2021. The price achieved of GBP 23,940.00 (€ 28,555.40) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yashima Gakutei - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Giant black carp in waterweeds, which sold at auction in September last year for USD 81,900.00 (€ 83,716.65).
