How this list was made
We read the published results of Japanese and Asian art sales at Bonhams and Christie’s, kept lots whose catalogue dates them to the Meiji era and which belong to one of these five media, and checked each price against the lot page. Lots dated “Meiji or Taishō”, or later, were left out. A maker is named only as the house catalogued it, using our attribution terms: By, Workshop of, Attributed to, Style of, Company.
Sotheby’s, the Japanese houses, LiveAuctioneers and several European rooms do not appear yet, because we could not open a lot page that showed the result to a reader who is not logged in. A house appears here only when its result can be checked.
Public historical auction result, cited to the auction house’s own lot page. It records what one object made on one day. It is not a valuation of any work, and nothing here is offered for sale.
