The edition type is the primary value driver for Yoshida prints. The jizuri seal — indicating the artist personally supervised every aspect of printing — typically commands 2–3× the price of posthumous reprints. Standard jizuri prints of Japanese landscapes cluster around $2,149 at dealer level (1stDibs benchmark). PBS Antiques Roadshow valued a pair of lifetime prints at $2,500 total (~$1,250 each) for non-jizuri examples.
Atami on the Izu Peninsula, Japan's premier hot spring resort destination since the Meiji era, is the setting for this unusual print featuring a nude figure — rare in Yoshida's landscape-dominated output. The bath or spring setting allows the nude to exist within a naturalistic context, the steaming waters and perhaps forested surroundings providing the environmental frame he always preferred for his human subjects. The print demonstrates Yoshida's complete command of the figure alongside his landscape mastery.
