Hiroshi Yoshida, Sailing Boats – Morning (Toku Seal)

Toku Seal (Special Printing), in upper left margin. Embossed signature in the lower right margin. Main title ("Sailing Boats") is signed in pencil and the word, "Morning" is embossed. Posthumous printings were produced using the same number of blocks and impressions as the original, pencil signed examples. In his 1939 book, the artist notes that 15 blocks and 24 impressions were used. The pagoda of Kofuku-ji Temple towers over the Sarusawa pond. Two deer are strolling on the snow covered bank.
