Upper estimate price exceeded by 53 %.
The work Smoking pipe and lacquer box with brocade bag by Ryuryukyo Shinsai was sold in the From Artist to Woodblock: Japanese Prints auction at Christies in London in July 2019. It achieved a price of GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,019.32), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 53%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ryuryukyo Shinsai achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Edo Period (1615-1868), Circa 1820 in September 2021 with an auction result of USD 37,812.50 (€ 32,661.74).
