In March 2006 Christies in New York held the auction Japanese Art Including Property of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which included the work The Actor Morita Kan'Ya Xiii In The Role of Jean Valjean, 1921 by Yamamura Koka. The »bidding war« ended at USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,151.91), 68% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Yamamura Koka - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Dancing at the New Carlton Hotel, Shanghai, which sold at auction in December 2021 for GBP 8,820.00 (€ 10,520.41).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
