## About Yoichi Ohira

Yoichi Ohira (1946–2022) is identified in the VIAF authority cluster as a Japanese glass artist. The cluster connects forms of his name used by library and museum-vocabulary systems, while Wikidata and Getty ULAN provide stable entity records that can help distinguish him from similarly named people. The available source pack does not establish a named movement, school, studio affiliation, training history, or specific body of work, so those details should not be inferred here. Collectors are most likely to encounter Ohira through glass objects and auction records catalogued under his name. Appraisily's public artist page currently groups 251 records with this entity, providing a starting point for comparison rather than proof that every attribution is correct. Any object-level assessment should begin with the catalogue description, maker attribution, physical characteristics, provenance, condition, and supporting documentation. Additional museum or scholarly sources would be needed to expand this biography responsibly.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports glass as Ohira's medium but does not document particular vessel forms, techniques, subjects, editions, series, or production periods. Objects offered under his name should therefore be described from their own catalogue and physical evidence rather than assigned to an unsupported series or stylistic category.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's artist page groups 251 auction records under Yoichi Ohira, but the supplied source pack does not expose individual lot descriptions, sale dates, estimates, realized prices, condition reports, or provenance. Those records should be reviewed at lot level before drawing market conclusions. For appraisal, first confirm that the object is glass and that the attribution to Ohira is supported, then compare it with genuinely similar documented sales when such evidence is available. Because the current sources establish identity and occupation more clearly than market segmentation, this profile does not claim a price trend, typical price range, scarce series, or hierarchy of subjects.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records and, when available, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots. Authority records help match the artist entity, while individual auction evidence must be evaluated separately.
