Catalog note / 解説

This is a beautifully rendered scene with blossoming cherry blossoms in the foreground with the steep stone wall and castle in the background. Notice the delicacy of the shadows reflected in the moat and the shading of the branches. Yoshida was the leading landscape artist of the early 20th century and travelled extensively throughout Japan and all over the world for inspiration. Pencil signed on bottom right with jizuri (self-printed) seal on the left margin. Abe, 'The Complete Woodblock Prints of Yoshida Hiroshi', #192, p.139
