Im Mai 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Japanese Art and Design durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tree (gold) von Hoshi Joichi zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 1.903,91) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hoshi Joichi auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Shuko (Autumn light) im September 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 8.225,00 (€ 9.307,46).
