This artwork by Jiun Onko achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in September 2003. In the Japanese and Korean Art auction, the work Buji kore kinin (Inactivity) sold for USD 7,767.50 (€ 4,707.58) - well above the upper estimate of USD 3,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Jiun Onko; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Choku tori no tobu ni makasu (Let the bird fly into a wide-open sky) sold at auction in March 2008 with the realized price of USD 8,750.00 (€ 5,536.22).
