Landscape, Ninja Point - No.20 from the portfolio: Folio Seventy Three

This print is the twentieth work in Folio Seventy Three, a portfolio that represents one of Yoshida's collaborative or individually organized print series, likely produced in the 1970s or early 1980s when portfolio publication was central to the Japanese creative print (sōsaku-hanga) market. The subject — Ninja Point, the same named location as a standalone print — is revisited here with the serial context of a numbered edition, suggesting slight variation in color or state from the independent version. Portfolio prints of this period were typically hand-pulled by the artist in limited numbers on machine-made or handmade [washi](/glossary/washi), signed and numbered in pencil. Yoshida's treatment of the landscape emphasizes geometric reduction: broad color zones delimit sky, horizon, and foreground in a composition that reads as much as abstract field painting as topographical image.
