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.
Yoshida viewed Fuji from Suzukawa — a small settlement at the mountain's southeastern base in Shizuoka Prefecture — in this 1928 print that positions the viewer at low elevation looking up and across the surrounding foothills toward the summit. The Suzukawa viewpoint offers a less-iconic but more intimate vantage than the famous views from Miho or Lake Kawaguchi, and Yoshida's treatment emphasizes the mountain's relationship to its immediate forested surroundings rather than isolating it against sky. The lower slopes, covered in dense forest or agricultural land, provide textural contrast to the clean volcanic cone above the treeline, and his color gradations capture the way the mountain changes tone from base to summit.
