Who Collects Japanese Woodblock Prints - and Why?

This is our second video on woodblock print pricing. In our last video, we talked about what factors make a Japanese woodblock print valuable (Artist demand. Subject matter. Impression quality. Condition. Edition size. and Market economics.) But today, instead of asking “What determines price?” We’ll ask, “Who is actually buying Japanese woodblock prints?” Because the market isn’t abstract. It’s made up of people. If we zoom out, the woodblock print market looks like an ecosystem. Museums, collectors, investors, and dealers all interact with the same pool of prints, but they all behave very differently. Understanding who participates in the market helps you understand why prices move the way they do.
