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.
Kajiyashiki refers to a district in Tomonoura, the historic port town on the Seto Inland Sea in Hiroshima Prefecture. Yoshida explored the Seto region extensively in the late 1920s, drawn to its intimate harbor scenery — weathered wooden storehouses, moored fishing boats, the play of light on protected water. This 1929 print renders the quiet character of the district, its architectural fabric grown organically from generations of maritime trade, with the tonal refinement that defines Yoshida's mature work.
