Hiroshi Yoshida (1876–1950) Summit of Mount Fuji (Fuji-jukkei) from Ten Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji-jukkei) Japan, Shōwa period, 1928 Color woodblock print; ink and color on paper Horizontal ōban format; approx. 27.9 × 40.6 cm — A refined and atmospheric landscape from Yoshida’s celebrated Ten Views of Mount Fuji , depicting climbers ascending the upper slopes of the mountain. The composition is defined by restraint: a steep incline populated by small, deliberate figures contrasts with the vast surrounding space, emphasizing both scale and isolation. Yoshida’s control of tonal gradation and muted color creates a quiet, immersive environment—an approach central to the shin-hanga movement’s fusion of traditional woodblock technique with modern sensibility. Rather than dramatizing the mountain, Yoshida allows it to unfold slowly—through distance, silence, and subtle shifts in light—resulting in a work that feels observational rather than constructed. — ARTIST CONTEXT Hiroshi Yoshida is widely regarded as one of the leading figures of the shin-hanga movement, known for landscape prints that achieved international recognition during his lifetime. His work bridges Japanese tradition and Western-influenced realism, and remains highly sought after in both domestic and global collector markets. Mount Fuji subjects, in particular, maintain enduring demand. — NOTES ON IMPRESSION Examples from this series may bear the jizuri (“self-printed”) seal, indicating direct supervision by Yoshida and often associated with higher-quality impressions.
