The edition type is the primary value driver for Yoshida prints. The jizuri seal — indicating the artist personally supervised every aspect of printing — typically commands 2–3× the price of posthumous reprints. Standard jizuri prints of Japanese landscapes cluster around $2,149 at dealer level (1stDibs benchmark). PBS Antiques Roadshow valued a pair of lifetime prints at $2,500 total (~$1,250 each) for non-jizuri examples.
This work documents the woodblock print process itself — a subject of considerable significance given Yoshida's unusual position as both designer and printer of his own jizuri editions. The print process involves successive applications of color through carved wooden blocks, each impression building on the last, and Yoshida's intimate knowledge of every stage informed the exceptional technical quality of his finished works. A print depicting the process carries a self-referential quality, the medium turning its attention to its own making.
