Typical Price
New Moon is an evocative nocturnal composition in which a slender crescent moon illuminates a shadowy landscape. Jizuri editions of this atmospheric night scene sell for $1,500-$4,000. Yoshida's night prints required extraordinary printing skill to achieve tonal depth without losing detail in the dark passages. Studio editions are available between $700-$2,200, and posthumous family prints from $300-$700.
