AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Early Spring in Azumino, Toshi Yoshida, woodblock print, 1989, posthumous edition.

Toshi's print 'Early Spring in Azumino' was completed in 1989, in his later years, and was one of the last prints he signed by hand before his death in 1995.

This breathtaking landscape captures, as many of his landscapes do, the reverent beauty of nature, and in this case the majestic splendor of the Azumino mountains in the Nagano region. It is believed that the word 'Charity' was written on it before the print was given to a newlywed couple, since the scene depicts a small temple that was a beloved wedding venue for many Japanese couples.

The print was produced using traditional woodcut techniques and a zinc plate. The hazy silhouette quality and the cool colors of the image suggest a sunrise, and the sharp details form a contrast with the traditional subject.
