Key value factors: For living or recently deceased artists, limited edition size and gallery representation drive value. Signed and numbered prints from smaller editions are most desirable.
A Kyoto park scene that references the legacy of Hiroshi Yoshida, the great shin hanga landscape master, while filtering the subject through Maruyama Hiroshi's own sensibility. The title's mention of Yoshida suggests a conscious dialogue with the earlier artist's approach to depicting natural scenery in woodblock form. Maruyama takes a familiar Kyoto green space and reinterprets it without the idealized luminosity that characterized Yoshida's work, instead finding his own tonal register for the interplay of trees, paths, and dappled light that defines the park experience in Japan's ancient capital.
