Description
An undocumented landscape print from Yoshimitsu's shin-hanga production, this work belongs to the body of Kyoto-area views that constitute the artist's primary contribution to twentieth-century Japanese printmaking. Yoshimitsu's prints are distinguished by their intimate scale of observation: rather than sweeping panoramic views, he tended to focus on particular stretches of path, specific groupings of trees, or a single building glimpsed through foliage. This close-range approach gives his landscapes a quality of personal experience, as if the viewer has just rounded a bend and encountered the scene for the first time. The exact location and season depicted in this untitled print remain unrecorded in available catalogs.
