Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A complete set of four volumes of Keinen gafu Keinen's sketch-book, complete with chitsu case, very good impressions, colours and condition (4) by Imao Keinen was sold in the Japanese Art and Design auction at Christies in London in July 2005. The price achieved of GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,088.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00. Admittedly, works by Imao Keinen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Keinen kacho gafu [Keinen's natural history paintings Kyoto: S. Nishimura, 1891. 4 volumes in two, 2° (366 x 255mm). 6pp. text. 138 coloured wood-block plates on 163 leaves (including 25 'diptych' plates).
