Typical Price

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.

Jizuri (artist-supervised) seal: $1,500–$4,000
Studio edition (no jizuri): $800–$2,000
Posthumous/family workshop reprint: $300–$800

Description

This entry in Hiroshi Yoshida's catalog appears under a database artifact title rather than a descriptive name, likely the result of metadata extraction from an auction or collection management system. The print dates to 1926 and is rendered in the oban format that Yoshida favored for his most important compositions. During this period, Yoshida was producing some of his finest work, having established his self-publishing operation after breaking with the Watanabe publishing house. His prints from the mid-1920s encompass Japanese landscapes, travel scenes from India and Southeast Asia, and studies of architecture and nature. Without a confirmed subject title, this work belongs to the broader body of prints that established Yoshida as one of the twentieth century's most accomplished landscape artists working in the woodblock medium.
