Yellow Submarine - 6

The sixth print in this Beatles-inspired series, produced in 2025, places Mount Fuji within a visual framework suggested by the song's saturated, fantastical color palette. Kinoshita's hybrid woodblock-and-etching technique enables dense layering of pigment across washi, with intaglio passages contributing linear precision to Fuji's contours or surrounding topographic detail. The Yellow Submarine series, like its counterparts in Kinoshita's Beatles cycle, likely employs an unconventional color register — departing from the muted indigo and ochre conventions of Meiji-era landscape prints in favor of more saturated or unexpected hues. The numbered edition structure indicates this is one of several compositional or chromatic studies within the same titled series.
