In May 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Japanese Woodblock Prints | Including the Sokolov Collection, which included the work Four woodblock prints by Umetaro Azechi. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,890.00 (€ 2,199.06), 58% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Umetaro Azechi; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Seven woodblock prints sold at auction in May 2021 with the realized price of GBP 3,024.00 (€ 3,518.49).
