Michael Kenna's photography (gees, I'm name dropping today) is wonderful. He's one of my favorite photographers. If you dig through the interviews on his site you'll come across a description of how he prints his work. He specifically states that he does not use selenium, but sepia instead. It's a very short bath and fairly dilute. Markus' photograph reminded me of this type of toning.
