Visitors linger along the vermilion front of a shrine hall

A long shrine hall runs away from the viewer along its front, its vermilion pillars carrying deep eaves hung with bronze lanterns and white paper streamers, the interior dark behind wooden railings. A woman in a blue-grey striped kimono with a red obi stands at the foot of the wooden steps holding an orange-red bundle. Further along, a group of visitors in yellow-patterned, pink and purple kimono sits and crouches on the flagstones near a stone lantern, and pines rise against a pale blue sky at the far left.

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.
