Junks sail past a steep green island crowned with a pavilion

A steep rocky island rises alone from a broad river, its flanks thick with green trees and a small pavilion perched on its summit; a cluster of white-walled buildings with red-brown roofs clings to a ledge at its foot. The water is a wide expanse of tan-pink ruled with fine ripple lines. A junk with a pale white sail passes at the left, three more with grey sails sit together at the centre, and a small boat with several figures aboard crosses the lower right. Cream cumulus clouds drift across a pale blue sky.

Hiroshi Yoshida (1876–1950) came to woodblock printing from Western-style oil painting, and brought a painter's eye for light to shin-hanga. He worked first with the publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō and from 1925 ran his own studio, supervising the carving and printing himself and often issuing a single design in several colourways to catch a different hour of the day. His travels through the Japan Alps, India, Egypt, Europe and North America gave the movement its widest geographic range. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
