Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2003 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese and Korean Art, which included the work Tawamure (Playing), from the series Rajo jusshu (Ten female nudes) by Ishikawa Toraji. The price achieved of USD 3,346.00 (€ 2,027.88) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 3,500.00. Admittedly, works by Ishikawa Toraji have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Rajo jusshu (Ten female nudes) in March 2001 with an auction result of USD 16,450.00 (€ 18,705.94).

Im September 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Japanese and Korean Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Tawamure (Playing), from the series Rajo jusshu (Ten female nudes) von Ishikawa Toraji zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.346,00 (€ 2.027,88) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Ishikawa Toraji auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Rajo jusshu (Ten female nudes) im März 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 16.450,00 (€ 18.705,94).
