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.
This 1926 print depicts Fuji from the town of Yoshida (now Fujiyoshida) at the mountain's northern base — a place of particular biographical resonance since Hiroshi Yoshida shared his adopted surname with this Fuji pilgrimage town. The view northward from Yoshida reveals the mountain's classic symmetrical form above the Fuji Five Lakes region, the foreground showing the town's traditional architecture and the Sengen shrine approaches used by centuries of pilgrims. The subject has an intimate, almost personal quality within his Fuji series.
