Description
An evening scene following rainfall, the air washed clear and every surface gleaming with reflected light, is the subject of this 1926 print. Yoshida excelled at the particular quality of post-rain light — the way wet stone catches reflections, how foliage deepens in color when soaked, the luminous quality of a clearing sky. This early Showa work demonstrates his mastery of atmospheric effects at the outset of his most prolific period, the training in Western plein-air painting fully integrated into woodblock technique.
