New York — ニューヨルク

Yoshida's "New York" (ニューヨルク) is among the more unusual subjects in the shin-hanga corpus, bringing Japanese woodblock technique to one of the early twentieth century's defining modern cityscapes. Likely depicting the Manhattan skyline from the waterfront or a bridge perspective, the print would have required the printer to render architectural geometry and the play of light on glass and steel — quite different from the organic forms of Yoshida's landscape work. Smoke from ships or factory stacks, the verticality of skyscrapers, and the grey-blue tones of the Hudson River would have demanded precise keyblock registration across multiple color blocks. The Japanese phonetic rendering of the title (ニューヨルク) signals the print's origin as a souvenir of foreign travel rather than a domestic meisho-e.
