This artwork by Mitsuru Watanabe achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Hong Kong in May 2013. In the Asian Contemporary Art (Day Sale) auction, the work Naoko of May, playing in Kakitsubata-zubyoubu (with Bosch) sold for HKD 500,000.00 (€ 49,584.23) - well above the upper estimate of HKD 200,000.00.
