From Yoshida's later career (1935–1950), these prints show his technical mastery at full maturity. Later-decade prints slightly trail peak-period 1920s works at auction, but jizuri impressions of desirable subjects still command strong prices. Standard jizuri Japanese landscapes follow the dealer benchmark of approximately $2,149; Sacred Bridge, Nikko (1937) sold for $800 at Schmidt's Antiques for a pencil-signed example.
Arashiyama in western Kyoto — celebrated for its bamboo groves, Oi River, and forested hills — is the subject of this 1935 print, with the later re-edition by Toshi Yoshida attesting to its enduring popularity. The composition likely captures the mountain's wooded slopes with the atmospheric softness Yoshida brought to all his Kyoto subjects, the familiar landmark rendered with fresh observational immediacy rather than formulaic repetition. Toshi's posthumous printing honors both the original composition and the family's commitment to print quality.
