Typical Price

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.

Jizuri (artist-supervised) seal: $1,500–$4,000
Studio edition (no jizuri): $700–$2,000
Posthumous/family workshop reprint: $300–$800

Description

Yoshida Tsukasa, the son of Toshi Yoshida and therefore the grandson of Hiroshi Yoshida, appears here as the subject of a family portrait that spans three generations of Japan's most distinguished printmaking dynasty. The Yoshida family — Hiroshi, his wife Fujio, their son Toshi, and Toshi's children — constituted one of the most remarkable continuous artistic traditions in twentieth-century Japanese art. This print connects the family's legacy to its next generation, the young Tsukasa representing the continuation of craft knowledge passed down through direct family transmission.
