This 1920s print from the heart of Yoshida's jizuri period represents his mature shin-hanga technique. Standard jizuri prints of Japanese landscapes cluster around $2,149 (1stDibs dealer benchmark). The jizuri seal — indicating Yoshida personally supervised printing — is the single most important value driver, typically doubling the price over non-jizuri lifetime impressions.
A portrait study of a young child, this 1927 print reveals a warmer, more intimate register within Yoshida's largely landscape-focused output. The child's face is rendered with careful attention to the softness of youth — round cheeks, wide eyes — in a style informed by his Western academic figure training. The print sits within a small group of domestic and figurative subjects from the mid-1920s that suggest Yoshida's interest in depicting the full range of human experience, not only grand natural scenery.
