A Garden in Summer

This 1933 print captures the lush, enclosed world of a Japanese garden in the high summer season — irises, maples, and dense plantings in full leaf, the paths and water features shaded by mature trees. Yoshida's understanding of botanical detail, developed through careful observational drawing, allows him to individuate plant species and textures within a unified atmospheric impression. The garden's curated nature as a human construction within the natural world was a recurring philosophical interest across his career.
