The work Combing Hair (Kamisuki) by Torii Kotondo was sold in the Art of Japan: Online auction at Christies in London in December 2019. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,250.18), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Torii Kotondo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kamisuki (Combing the hair) in March 2019 with an auction result of USD 72,500.00 (€ 64,570.72).
