From Yoshida's later career (1935–1950), these prints show his technical mastery at full maturity. Later-decade prints slightly trail peak-period 1920s works at auction, but jizuri impressions of desirable subjects still command strong prices. Standard jizuri Japanese landscapes follow the dealer benchmark of approximately $2,149; Sacred Bridge, Nikko (1937) sold for $800 at Schmidt's Antiques for a pencil-signed example.
Sankei-en is a traditional Japanese garden in Yokohama, originally assembled by silk merchant Tomitaro Hara in the early twentieth century, its grounds incorporating historic buildings relocated from Kyoto and Nara. Yoshida's 1935 print captures the garden's characteristic blend of horticultural refinement and architectural heritage — a constructed landscape that aspires to the condition of nature. This particular impression was printed later by his son Toshi Yoshida, who preserved the original blocks and continued his father's printmaking legacy with comparable skill.
