Description
Indications that this work was printed after Hiroshi Yoshida's death include a stamped signature in the lower right margin and the lack of his jizuri ("self-printed") seal. This was likely printed by the Yoshida Family press not long after his passing, and retains the precise, sensitive beauty that Hiroshi was known for.
A note on the condition: this print exhibits faint matburn into the image on the right edge by about 1/4" and along the upper edge about 1/8," and the composition is somewhat lightstruck within the old mat opening. Price reflects condition.
