In December 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Fine Japanese Prints, which included the work Literary and Military Arts, Number Two (Bunbu niban) by Totoya Hokkei. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,340.00 (€ 13,526.24), 26% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Totoya Hokkei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tiger Looking At The Moon in September 2021 with an auction result of USD 350,000.00 (€ 302,323.57).

Im Dezember 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Fine Japanese Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Literary and Military Arts, Number Two (Bunbu niban) von Totoya Hokkei zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.340,00 (€ 13.526,24) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Totoya Hokkei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tiger Looking At The Moon im September 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 350.000,00 (€ 302.323,57).
