From Yoshida's Ten Views of Mount Fuji series. Fuji subjects carry a 30–50% premium over comparable Japanese landscapes, driven by the mountain's universal appeal to both Japanese and international collectors. The more dramatically lit compositions — dawn, sunset, and snow scenes — achieve the highest figures within this subject category.
Miho no Matsubara — the pine-covered sand spit at the foot of the Izu Peninsula with its legendary unobstructed view of Mount Fuji across Suruga Bay — is the vantage point for this 1935 Fuji composition. The pines of Miho frame the cone's reflection in the bay, one of the most celebrated of the "Thirty-Six Views" subjects revived for the [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) era. Yoshida's treatment brings Western atmospheric depth to a composition Hokusai and Hiroshige had made iconic, the mountain both grounded and transcendent.
